ECONOCOM GROUP SE The Econocom group strengthens its governance
Appointments of Laurent Roudil as Director and CEO and
Angel Benguigui as Executive Managing Director
After a period of stabilisation and consolidation that has helped the group lay foundations for developing its traditional business lines and cutting-edge services, leading it to post very strong financial results recently that demonstrate its model's solidity, this strengthened governance will support the group's aim to change dimension and enter a new phase of growth.
Econocom is underpinning this new phase of strong development with a change in governance by appointing two men at the head of the company who know the group well, having worked within it for many years and spearheaded the drive to consolidate it and reduce its debt.
Jean-Louis Bouchard, the group's founder, will carry on in his role of Chairman and continue to be involved in strategic M&A projects and corporate communication. Jean-Louis Bouchard said: ‘With this strengthened governance, we are underlining our plan to double in size by the end of the decade. I have full trust in Laurent Roudil and Angel Benguigui keeping alive the responsible entrepreneurial spirit that guides us and brings success.'
The Board of Directors will put forward these appointments at the group's general meeting on 31 March 2022.
