About Laurent LEQUIN

Laurent Lequin holds a key executive role at GROUPE TERA, a listed French company focused on air-quality measurement and monitoring. Based on the company’s published materials and market governance databases, he serves as Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Board Member of GROUPE TERA, positions he has held since June 2019. He is therefore one of the group’s leading executives alongside Pascal Kaluzny, the founder and Chairman-CEO. His career has been built around corporate finance and the development of small and mid-sized businesses. GROUPE TERA’s biographical materials state that he earned a postgraduate degree in business management from the École Supérieure des Affaires in Grenoble. He began his career in 1997 in the finance department of Sauvagnat SA, a mid-sized company with around 200 employees and €60 million in revenue. In 2001, he moved into banking at Crédit Agricole, where he managed a portfolio of roughly 80 companies. From 2004 onward, he led and developed a bakery-industry SME with 35 employees, then returned to banking in 2006, first in the M&A division of Crédit Agricole and later as head of the corporate division of a Caisse d’Épargne branch in the Rhône-Alpes region. He joined GROUPE TERA in 2008 as Chief Financial Officer and helped support the company’s long-term structuring and growth. Over time, the group expanded its activities across laboratory analysis, patented sensors, and digital solutions linked to real-time air-quality data. Corporate presentations highlight GROUPE TERA’s position across the full value chain, from laboratories to sensors and data, with a strong “made in France” innovation strategy and an increasing use of big-data analytics. In that context, Laurent Lequin’s background in finance, SME management, and banking has been an important asset in supporting the company’s industrial, financial, and market development. Beyond his executive responsibilities, he remains a significant shareholder, which aligns him closely with the group’s long-term value creation. Recent governance documents also confirm the continuity of his board mandate, renewed in 2025 for a six-year term.
