STEPHANE GIGOU

About STEPHANE GIGOU

Stéphane Gigou is the Chairman of Trigano’s Management Board, the French listed leisure-vehicle group focused on motorhomes, caravans, mobile homes, trailers, and related accessories. He took over as Chairman of the Management Board on September 30, 2020, as part of the succession plan following François Feuillet, Trigano’s long-standing leader. Trigano’s annual report identifies him as one of the group’s top executives and notes that he also holds several governance mandates within Trigano subsidiaries. He graduated in economics and business from the University of La Sapienza in Rome and built most of his career in the automotive industry, first at Renault and later at Fiat Chrysler. Before joining Trigano, he served as Managing Director of Fiat Professional, Fiat Chrysler’s commercial-vehicle division. That background gave him deep experience in industrial management, international sales, product-line execution, and navigating large-scale mobility-market transitions. At Trigano, Gigou operates in a business characterized by European leadership, multi-country manufacturing, and an active acquisition strategy. Trigano has grown into a leading European recreational-vehicle manufacturer through its 1998 listing and a series of acquisitions, especially in motorhomes. Under his leadership, the group has continued to manage a broad portfolio of brands while maintaining a governance structure centered on a Management Board and a Supervisory Board. His profile is particularly relevant for an industrial group facing supply-chain volatility, inflation, product-portfolio coordination, and energy-transition challenges. The company’s filings also show that he is involved in governance roles across subsidiaries, reflecting a hands-on, cross-functional leadership style within the group. He also holds Trigano shares, which supports a long-term alignment with shareholder interests.
