About Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux

Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux is a French business leader and entrepreneur known for his broad experience across industry, corporate governance and employer representation. He is an independent director of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain and serves on the Audit and Risk Committee. At Saint-Gobain, he contributes strong expertise in governance, strategy, financial oversight and stakeholder dialogue. The company highlights his background as both an entrepreneur and an executive, which brings an external, high-level perspective to the Board’s work. He began his professional career at L’Oréal in France in 1986, before moving into entrepreneurship and company building. Saint-Gobain’s published materials indicate that he later held several senior roles within the Group, including planning responsibilities, an operational management role in the United States, and ultimately the position of Chief Financial Officer of Compagnie de Saint-Gobain in 2005. That progression reflects a strong command of industrial performance, international operations and capital allocation in a large listed company. Roux de Bézieux also became a prominent figure in French business advocacy. He held senior roles at Medef, the main French employers’ federation, and served as its Chairman from July 2018 to July 2023. In that capacity, he was associated with a pro-competitiveness agenda focused on economic confidence, labor flexibility and strengthening France’s productive base. His public stance consistently reflected the priorities of companies navigating regulation, social dialogue and economic recovery. His governance profile is further reinforced by board experience at listed companies, including Stellantis, where he served on the Supervisory Board and later as lead director and vice-chairman, as well as mandates at Parrot and Bureau Veritas. This cross-sector experience gives him particular credibility on board effectiveness, risk supervision, executive compensation and long-term value creation.
