About STEPHANE DALYAC

Stéphane Dalyac is a senior executive at Laurent-Perrier, the French listed champagne house, where he serves as President and CEO. He has led the Group’s executive management since 2014, with responsibilities centered on growth, operational discipline, brand stewardship, and long-term value creation. Laurent-Perrier’s governance structure separates oversight and management through a Supervisory Board and a Management Board, a model that suits a heritage luxury company with an international footprint. His career is strongly rooted in consumer goods, marketing, sales, and international leadership. Before joining Laurent-Perrier, Dalyac started his professional path at PAI Partners. He then joined Danone in 1992, where he held several marketing and sales roles, including assignments in the United Kingdom. In 2002, he moved to Yoplait, and in 2011 he was appointed Managing Director for Europe. This background gave him deep experience in brand strategy, commercial execution, multi-country management, and the leadership of complex consumer businesses. Academically, he holds degrees from the Institut National Agronomique Paris-Grignon, Sciences Po Paris, and a postgraduate diploma in financial mathematics from Paris Dauphine University. This combination of scientific, economic, and financial training has likely contributed to a management style that blends analytical rigor with strategic perspective. At Laurent-Perrier, Dalyac has overseen a phase focused on reinforcing the house’s international prestige while preserving its distinctive identity. The company continues to emphasize its core attributes of freshness, elegance, purity, and innovation, and under his leadership has maintained a premium positioning built around flagship cuvées and strong brand architecture. In 2024, Laurent-Perrier received the Royal Warrant from King Charles III, a major recognition of the quality and standing of the house. Dalyac’s role reflects a broader commitment to continuity, disciplined governance, and the careful development of a leading champagne brand in global luxury markets.
