About Olivier Costa de Beauregard

Olivier Costa de Beauregard is a French executive with a background that combines top-tier public administration, finance, and corporate strategy. He is a graduate of the École normale supérieure, the École nationale d’administration (ENA), and Sciences Po Paris. After leaving ENA in 1986, he joined the Inspection générale des finances, giving him early exposure to public-sector economics, regulatory oversight, and high-level financial analysis. He then built a broad career across major financial and industrial groups. In 1990, he served as an adviser at Société Générale de Belgique within the Suez group, and in 1991 he moved to UAP, advising the group’s Chief Investment Officer. From 1993 to 1995, he worked as a technical adviser in Édouard Balladur’s office at Matignon. This period strengthened his understanding of economic policy, institutional relations, and strategic decision-making. In 1995, he was appointed Head of Development at UAP Vie, then Director of Strategy and Planning at Axa UAP France. In 1998, he joined Crédit Commercial de France and later HSBC in a director role. In 2005, he joined Groupe Industriel Marcel Dassault as Deputy Chief Executive Officer and became Chief Executive Officer in 2006. He also serves as Chairman of the Management Board of Immobilière Dassault SA, the listed real-estate arm of the Dassault Group. Immobilière Dassault focuses on high-quality office and retail assets, mainly in central Paris, and operates under a two-tier governance structure with a Management Board and a Supervisory Board. In that role, Costa de Beauregard oversees a selective acquisition policy, asset enhancement, and ongoing renovation work aimed at preserving and increasing long-term value. Recent company disclosures indicate that he remains at the helm of the Management Board, including for the 2025 financial close and the early 2026 renewal of mandates. His profile reflects a blend of state expertise, financial discipline, and experience within family-controlled industrial and real-estate groups. Within the Dassault ecosystem, he is a key figure at the intersection of governance, capital allocation, and strategic property development.
