About Stéphane CASSAGNE

Stéphane Cassagne currently holds a key role at ARGAN, the French listed real estate company specialized in the development and rental of premium logistics warehouses. He joined ARGAN’s Executive Board effective September 1, 2024, where he serves as Asset Management Director. His appointment reflects ARGAN’s intention to strengthen the balance between development, asset management, and support functions in a context of disciplined growth and long-term value creation. He holds a master’s degree in commercial law as well as a postgraduate degree (DESS) in business law. Cassagne built the core of his career in environments shaped by strong operational and regulatory demands. He began at Calberson, where he served as Legal Director from 1997 to 2003. That early experience gave him a solid foundation in corporate law, contractual structuring, and the legal support of logistics operations. In 2003, he joined Geodis, where he spent more than two decades, up to 2024. At Geodis, he developed deep expertise in logistics, transport, and the real estate dimensions that underpin those activities. Over time, he held several senior leadership positions and ultimately became Managing Director for France and a member of the Group Executive Committee. In those roles, he was involved in major strategic, operational, and asset-related matters at national scale, in an industry where site performance, real estate control, and customer responsiveness are central to competitiveness. His background makes him a natural fit for ARGAN, whose business model is closely linked to logistics users’ operational needs and to the long-term management of industrial real estate assets. He already knew the company well, having served on its Supervisory Board between 2019 and 2021. That prior governance experience gives him a strong understanding of ARGAN’s culture, strategy, and stakeholder environment. Cassagne’s profile combines legal rigor, operational leadership, and sector-specific knowledge. This combination is particularly valuable for a logistics property company focused on premium assets, long-term relationships, and disciplined portfolio development. His move to the Executive Board signals ARGAN’s preference for experienced leaders capable of supporting asset optimization, lease management, and a selective growth strategy aligned with sustainability and value creation.
