About Laure Delahousse

Laure Delahousse is a recognized figure in French capital markets and corporate governance. She is currently an independent member of Vivendi SE’s Supervisory Board and, since the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2026, Chairwoman of the Audit and Sustainability Committee. Her profile is particularly strong in asset management, financial regulation, and board oversight, making her a relevant governance expert for a listed group exposed to demanding transparency, control, and stakeholder expectations. She graduated from ESCP in 1988 and began her career at Arthur Andersen, then joined Crédit Lyonnais. From 1997 onward, she held positions in several investment management firms, including Paribas Asset Management and Société Générale Asset Management, before joining the Association Française de la Gestion financière (AFG), the French association representing asset managers. This trajectory gave her a deep understanding of institutional investors, capital markets, and the financing of the economy. In 2006, she also spent time in the United States studying the American retirement savings system, which informed her work on long-term savings and pension financing. At the AFG, she has been Managing Director since October 2023. In that role, she represents and promotes the interests and excellence of French asset management in discussions with public authorities, regulators, and market participants. Her career combines strategic judgment, regulatory expertise, and a practical understanding of investor expectations. Vivendi itself highlights her strong command of regulatory and financial issues, as well as their impact on the competitiveness of economic actors. At Vivendi, Delahousse contributes to board-level oversight through her committee responsibilities, notably on financial audit, sustainability reporting, risk supervision, and corporate accountability. Her background in asset management and capital markets strengthens the dialogue between the company, its shareholders, and broader stakeholders. Her appointment reflects the importance of independent directors with robust financial expertise in the governance of publicly listed companies.
