About AUDREY CHAVANCY

Audrey Chavancy holds a key executive role at GL events as Group CSR and Risk Director, and is part of the company’s top management. In this position, she oversees strategic topics at the intersection of governance, risk management, internal control, audit, and corporate social responsibility. Her role is particularly important in a listed company such as GL events, where resilience, compliance, non-financial reporting, and ESG integration have become central to long-term performance. Her career reflects a steady progression through increasingly senior responsibilities. Within GL events, she first worked on internal audit and control matters, then broadened her scope to group risk management before taking on CSR leadership responsibilities. This evolution demonstrates both technical credibility and the ability to connect financial discipline with sustainability strategy. Her professional background prior to GL events is equally strong. She worked at Dassault Aviation in internal control and finance roles, and later gained consulting experience at PwC France and Deloitte France, where she focused on finance transformation, risk management, internal control, and internal audit. This combination gave her a robust understanding of operational controls, process improvement, and corporate governance. Audrey Chavancy is also associated with a strong academic foundation, with references indicating that she is a graduate of NEOMA Business School. Her profile is therefore anchored in finance, audit, and strategy, with a clear specialization in structured control environments and cross-functional transformation. At GL events, she has contributed to strengthening the group’s non-financial framework and ESG approach, helping embed CSR into executive-level decision-making. During the COVID-19 crisis, she played a meaningful role in coordinating support functions and operational teams under exceptional conditions. That contribution was recognized externally, including by the DFCG Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, which awarded a prize for a project related to crisis-period coordination. She has also become a visible voice for GL events’ sustainability efforts, including waste recovery, responsible event operations, and broader environmental performance initiatives. Overall, Audrey Chavancy stands out as a governance-oriented executive with deep expertise in risk, audit, internal control, and CSR. Her career illustrates how non-financial leadership has become a strategic pillar in modern listed-company management, especially in a group active in international events and services.
