About GWENAEL MALARD

Gwénaël Malard is Nexity’s Director of Operations and Transformation, a role from which he supports the group’s executive management and contributes to the operational execution of its strategic roadmap. He joined Nexity’s Executive Committee in this capacity and is responsible for helping drive the company’s transformation agenda in a property market marked by structural change, tighter capital discipline and a stronger focus on territorial execution. Nexity positions him as a key executive involved in delivering the group’s strategic plan, including the operational rollout of “Imagine 2026” and the broader reorganization toward a more agile, regional and multi-product model. His career at Nexity spans more than a decade and reflects a progressive move from audit and control functions into strategy, transactions and corporate governance. After an initial three-year experience at Ernst & Young, he joined Nexity in 2010 in the Group Audit Department. In 2015, he moved to the Strategy and Development Department, where he was in charge of external growth transactions, gaining direct exposure to M&A, portfolio development and integration work. In 2018, he became Company Secretary of the Villes & Projets subsidiary, and in 2022 he took on the same role within Nexity Transformation des Territoires. This progression shows a leader who combines financial rigor with operational and organizational expertise. Malard’s academic background reinforces this profile: he holds a master’s degree in management sciences from the Sorbonne and a specialized master’s degree in audit and financial control from TBS Education. His expertise sits at the intersection of internal audit, performance management, strategic transformation and corporate structuring. At Nexity, he has been associated with the evolution of the finance function, the strengthening of performance oversight and the implementation of governance changes designed to improve decision-making and execution. In short, he represents the type of executive profile often found in listed French groups: technically strong, operationally pragmatic and closely aligned with long-term transformation priorities.
