About BOUYGUES SA

Bouygues SA is not an individual executive, but a leading French listed company and the reference shareholder of the TF1 group. Within Bouygues’ governance perimeter, TF1 is one of the group’s major business segments, and Rodolphe Belmer is the current chief executive leading the television business. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer of TF1 on 27 October 2022 and then Chairman of the Board on 13 February 2023, making him the group’s top executive. Rodolphe Belmer built his career primarily in media and content distribution. From 2001 to 2015, he held a succession of senior roles within Canal+, where he was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2003 and later Group Chief Executive Officer from 2012 to 2015. He then served as Chief Executive Officer of Eutelsat Communications from 2016 to 2021, before becoming CEO of Atos until July 2022. This background gave him strong expertise in digital transformation, content monetization, distribution strategy, and the management of listed companies operating in fast-changing markets. At TF1, Belmer is responsible for a strategy focused on strengthening the group’s leadership in free-to-air television, news, and family entertainment, while accelerating the development of the free streaming platform TF1+ and adapting the advertising model to evolving viewing habits.
