About Jérôme Lefebure

Jérôme Lefébure is a senior governance executive within Groupe M6 / Métropole Télévision, widely associated with finance leadership, support-function oversight, and long-term contribution to the company’s transformation. He graduated from Sciences Po Paris and holds a master’s degree in business law. He began his career at Arthur Andersen from 1988 to 1998, building a strong foundation in audit, internal control, and financial discipline. He then joined Atos Direct (Koba), where he served as Chief Financial Officer and a member of the executive board from 1998 to 2003. In 2003, Lefébure joined Groupe M6 as Chief Financial Officer. This appointment came at a strategic moment for the company, which was refining its business model, broadening its activities, and strengthening its governance framework. In 2010, he became a member of the Management Board, with responsibility for management activities, including finance, organization and human resources, and information systems. That broader remit reflects a profile capable of managing not only financial performance, but also the organizational levers and internal processes that support corporate transformation. Within the group, he has also held major operational mandates, including serving as Chief Executive Officer of M6 Diffusion SA. His responsibilities placed him at the center of risk oversight, capital allocation, performance monitoring, and support for growth initiatives. Groupe M6’s reference documents indicate that responsibility for risk control is assigned to the Management Board member in charge of finance and support functions, underscoring Lefébure’s central role in the company’s governance architecture. He has also been repeatedly renewed in his management-board role, signaling sustained confidence from shareholders and supervisory bodies. His tenure at Métropole Télévision has been marked by professional recognition as well. He was named Financial Director of the Year, a distinction that highlighted both the quality of his financial stewardship and his ability to position the finance function as a strategic partner to the group’s development. In an audiovisual market shaped by audience fragmentation, intense competition, and digital transformation, Jérôme Lefébure has represented disciplined governance, value creation, risk management, and organizational efficiency.
