Since 2002, Eurazeo has been governed by an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board. We chose this structure because it meets the highest corporate governance standards, including a healthy balance between executive and control functions.
Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board oversees the Executive Board’s management of the Group. It is supported by the work and opinions of the committees to which it has entrusted specific tasks (Finance Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation and Appointment Committee, Governance Committee, CSR Committee). The Supervisory Board has 12 members, including two employee representatives, an Honorary Chairman and one non-voting member. The Honorary Chairman is Mr Bruno Roger.
In accordance with regulations requiring 40% female representation and 50% independent members, Eurazeo's Supervisory Board has five female members (50% of the total number of members, i.e. ten members excluding employee representatives) and six independent members (60% of the total number of members).

The Executive Board holds the most extensive power to act on Eurazeo’s behalf in all circumstances. It is responsible for the Group’s executive management and is accountable to the Supervisory Board. It has four members and oversees relationships with shareholders, strategy execution, resource allocation, financial performance, human resources and communication.
The Executive Board is composed of two co-CEOs: Christophe Bavière and William Kadouch-Chassaing as well as Sophie Flak and Olivier Millet.
The positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer will be rotated annually. Since 5 February 2024, William Kadouch-Chassaing has been Chairman of the Executive Board and Christophe Bavière has been Chief Executive Officer.
Management Committee
The Management Committee is responsible for defining, implementing and monitoring Eurazeo's strategic directions. As such, it ensures the execution of the strategy of diversifying our investment sectors and asset classes, international deployment, fundraising, analysis of our market environments and our external growth operations.
