About Maxime Séché

Maxime Séché is the Chief Executive Officer of Séché Environnement, a leading French industrial group focused on waste recovery and treatment, environmental services, decontamination, and circular-economy solutions. As a member of the founding family, he represents the continuity of a long-standing entrepreneurial model, but his profile is also marked by a solid external career in finance and investment before he took operational leadership at the group. He joined Séché Environnement in 2013 as Head of Strategy, became Deputy Chief Executive Officer in 2015, and was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 2019, while his father, Joël Séché, remained Chairman of the Board. He graduated from EDHEC Business School’s Grande École program, specializing in entrepreneurship. He started his career in finance at Société Générale in Paris and London, where he worked as a utilities-sector analyst, and later joined Paris Orléans in private equity. That background gave him a strong understanding of capital allocation, corporate finance, and industrial growth strategies. He later moved into entrepreneurship by co-founding L14 Capital Partners, an investment fund dedicated to renewable energy, and BlueNRGY, a U.S.-based software and services company serving the renewable-energy sector. At Séché Environnement, Maxime Séché has been central to the group’s strategic evolution, supporting its expansion and diversification in France and abroad. His leadership is associated with a governance structure that combines family ownership, industrial expertise, and international ambition. As CEO, he oversees a business model built around industrial and municipal clients, with priorities including decarbonization, environmental risk management, waste recovery, pollution remediation, and high-value-added services. Recent company disclosures indicate that the group continues to pursue growth in France and internationally, reinforcing the relevance of its strategic positioning in the environmental services sector.
