About Emmanuel Viellard

Emmanuel Viellard is a key figure in the governance of LISI, the French listed industrial group specialized in fastening and assembly solutions for aerospace, automotive and other high-value applications. In the most recent company communications available, he serves as Chief Executive Officer of LISI and chairs the Executive Committee, within a governance model that combines central strategic leadership with the operational autonomy of the Group’s divisions. In April 2023, LISI’s Board renewed his mandate as Chief Executive Officer for a four-year term, underscoring the Board’s confidence in his leadership. Under his leadership, LISI has consistently emphasized two strategic pillars: innovation and operational excellence. In the Group’s message to shareholders and the market, Viellard highlights the strengthening of long-term positions with strategic customers, revenue growth, improved financial indicators and a reinforced financial structure. He also places strong emphasis on people, talent development and recruitment, presenting workforce investment as a core driver of performance. In parallel, he frames sustainability as an essential part of the Group’s long-term model, aligned with the 3P approach: People, Planet and Profit. His remit covers a broad international industrial footprint, with close to 10,000 employees, multiple production sites and research centers. LISI’s governance page still identifies him as Chief Executive Officer, and he also sits on the Board of Directors. This dual executive and board-level presence gives him a decisive role in coordinating the Group’s divisions, enforcing operational discipline and steering strategic priorities across the organization. Viellard’s profile is closely associated with the continuity of a long-standing family-owned industrial group, while also reflecting a modern focus on performance, transformation and sustainability. His expertise lies in industrial management, global operations, supply-chain execution, customer relationships and the leadership of a listed company operating in demanding, capital-intensive markets where quality, resilience and long-term competitiveness are critical.
