About Caroline Villemonte de la Clergerie

Caroline Villemonte de la Clergerie is a key figure in the governance of Groupe LDLC, where she currently serves as Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board. As a long-standing member of the founding family, she joined the LDLC adventure in 1998, shortly after the company was launched, alongside her brothers. That long tenure gives her a deep understanding of the group’s business model, markets, internal organization, and strategic priorities. She graduated from EBP Bordeaux and HEC Paris with a specialization in management control, a background that helped shape her early contribution to the company’s financial discipline and operational rigor. For many years, she focused on administrative leadership, particularly management control and treasury, helping to secure the financial framework of a fast-growing e-commerce company. Over time, her responsibilities expanded beyond financial oversight to include non-financial and extra-financial issues, especially the group’s CSR approach. This evolution reflects a broader shift toward more integrated and sustainable governance. After more than twenty years as a member of the Management Board, she stepped down from that role at the end of the general meeting on 29 September 2023 and was subsequently appointed to the Supervisory Board for a six-year term. That transition underscores her ability to support the company’s long-term transformation while remaining a decisive voice in its governance. Her career illustrates recognized expertise in financial control, treasury management, organizational oversight, and corporate governance. She also embodies the continuity of a family-controlled group that has become one of France’s leading players in computer and high-tech e-commerce. In her current role, she helps supervise strategy, ensure balanced decision-making, and support Groupe LDLC’s long-term growth in a highly competitive environment.
