About

A passionate leader with over 20 years' experience in the international retail sector, I have progressed from shop management to general management at DECATHLON, the world's leading sporting goods retailer. Thanks to a strategic vision, expertise in international development and a real passion for people and management, I led multicultural teams to achieve ambitious goals, including the successful development of Decathlon in several countries. My role as non-executive Chairman of Auchan Retail Portugal S.A. gives me the opportunity to put my skills in corporate governance to good use. Driven by the challenge of transforming commercial challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth, I strive to instil a culture of innovation and operational excellence at the service of our teams and our customers.
