About Jean-Eric CHOUCHAN

Jean-Eric Chouchan is a long-standing Roche Bobois SA executive and currently serves as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. As a member of one of the company’s two founding families, he represents the continuity of the family-led governance model that has shaped Roche Bobois since its origins. Roche Bobois’ reference documents state that he is the son of Patrick Chouchan, one of the brand’s founders, and that he joined the Group in 1976 when Cuir Center and Cuir Center International were created. Over the years, he held a broad range of operational responsibilities, working both with franchisors and with franchised subsidiaries, before gradually stepping back from day-to-day operations starting in 2008. His career gives him a deep understanding of franchise management, specialty retail, and international distribution networks. That operational background has been valuable in supporting Roche Bobois through periods of growth while preserving the brand’s core identity: French design, premium positioning, and a distinctive lifestyle appeal. In November 2019, Jean-Eric Chouchan was appointed Chairman of the Supervisory Board, replacing François Roche. The move symbolized a generational handover within the founding families and reinforced the group’s long-term governance structure. Since then, he has played a central role in ensuring strategic stability, family alignment, and effective oversight for a listed company with a strong heritage. Jean-Eric Chouchan also brings a strong legal and corporate background to his mandate. He holds a law degree and a business degree from Montpellier School of Management, and he is a partner at Bredin Prat, where he practices in the corporate department. This combination of legal expertise and business experience makes him especially relevant on governance, capital markets, shareholder agreements, and corporate transactions. As Chairman of the Supervisory Board, he supports a global premium furniture brand that has expanded its reach through signature collections, collaborations with renowned designers, and a consistent international growth strategy. His profile reflects that of an experienced family leader: deeply rooted in the company’s history, yet focused on disciplined governance and long-term value creation.
