Allegrezza remains at Luxtrust

Allegrezza will still keep one foot in the company as he will continue to chair the board of directors of Luxtrust SA, a subsidiary of the Post Luxembourg group.

“I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Serge Allegrezza, who is leaving the board of directors of Post Luxembourg after 22 years. Throughout his tenure, Serge has been a strong advocate of Post’s interests, making a significant contribution to the strategic directions that have shaped the group,” commented Delles. “His leadership and vision have been real assets for Post Luxembourg, and his legacy will continue to inspire the company in its future challenges and successes. On behalf of the government, I extend my sincere thanks to him.”
