TRI-POD will be dually hosted by The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie and Roger Jackson, Managing Director of Dubai-based The SEVA Group IMEA and Organico Solutions, the Dubai operation of The SEVA Group. Roger has a wealth of travel retail experience, much of it generated at global drinks giant Diageo, where he spent over 13 years.


The SEVA Group, founded and owned by Severino Pušić, has diverse interests across travel retail (supply, distribution and retail), local market distribution and real estate. Founded in 1997 from its origins as a liquor and tobacco wholesaler in the Balkans, The SEVA Group has emerged as a powerful international force, with operations in Panama, Australia and Dubai, and a global distribution centre in Croatia.
