About jerome lescure

Jérôme Lescure is a French executive and board member with a long-standing relationship to Groupe SEB. His most notable role at SEB S.A. was as a director of the company, a mandate he held from the Annual General Meeting of 19 May 2016, after having already served on SEB’s board from 1994 to 2005. He also served as a member of the Audit and Compliance Committee, placing him at the center of internal control, risk oversight and financial discipline matters. His board mandate ended at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. Lescure has a multidisciplinary academic background: he graduated from the École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris, earned a master’s degree in industrialized construction from the École Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, and holds an MBA from HEC. This blend of architecture, engineering and business training gave him a profile well suited to industrial settings and corporate transformation challenges. Before becoming an investor and entrepreneur, he held various management and supervisory positions in Anglo-Saxon groups, then became a partner at A.T. Kearney, a strategy consulting firm, before joining Accenture as Managing Director of its consulting business in France. Since 2013, he has focused on entrepreneurship and investing. SEB’s reference documents state that he is Chairman and CEO of Neofor, an industrial wood-processing group, and that he has also held or continues to hold positions in several investment vehicles and operating companies, including APICAP, CAMSEL, Additio, Brassac Holding, Les Bois du Midi, Lavilla and Manutan International. This portfolio of mandates reflects deep experience across industry, private equity, and corporate governance. His career suggests recognized capability in supporting family-owned or mid-sized businesses, capital allocation, and long-term strategic oversight. Within the SEB ecosystem, he represents a governance profile grounded in control, structuring and sustainable value creation.
