About Maurice Bansay

Maurice Bansay is a prominent French real estate executive, best known for his role as manager (gérant) of CFI – Compagnie Foncière Internationale, a Paris-listed real estate company. In CFI’s governance structure, the gérance carries the day-to-day operational and legal responsibility of the company, and recent regulatory documents identify Maurice Bansay, together with Fabrice Bansay, as the persons responsible for the company’s information memorandum and for certifying the annual financial statements. This places him at the center of both corporate oversight and market disclosure. His professional background is closely associated with real estate development and asset management. Public sources also describe him as the founder and CEO of Groupe Apsys, a well-known French property development and operating platform. That broader track record helps explain his expertise in structuring real estate projects, managing asset value, and overseeing long-term property strategies. It also gives context to his role at CFI, whose corporate history is rooted in real estate ownership and management. At CFI, Bansay has been involved in a company that has shifted into a highly reduced operating model. Recent annual reports state that CFI sold its last asset in 2014, has no short- or medium-term investment plan, and continues as a winding-down vehicle with sharply reduced operating costs. The company also reported no employees, no revenue in 2023, and a very limited balance sheet primarily composed of cash and short-term placements. In that environment, governance, compliance, and financial discipline are the main strategic priorities. Maurice Bansay therefore stands out as an executive experienced in complex listed-company situations, particularly where the challenge is not aggressive expansion but orderly stewardship. His profile combines real estate expertise, corporate governance responsibility, and the ability to manage a coted vehicle through a long transition phase while maintaining regulatory transparency and continuity.
