zoomGaël Bodénès

Bourbon’s board of directors has confirmed Jacques de Chateauvieux as executive chairman, and entrusted Gaël Bodénès, as chief executive officer, with the responsibility of the company management.

In addition the board also decided that Astrid de Bréon, as chief financial officer, would be an integral part of the executive team.

This evolution follows Christian Lefèvre appointment as chief executive officer of JACCAR Holdings as of October 1, 2017, who consequently leaves his executive position at Bourbon. He will remain as a board member.

“As Bourbon implements its transformation plan, I am happy to see Gaël Bodénès, who successfully handled new customer expectations in his previous operational roles, take on this new responsibility for Bourbon,” said Jacques de Chateauvieux, executive chairman of Bourbon. “With Astrid de Bréon fully empowered as part of the executive team, BOURBON has an able and committed management team, at this critical time, to build a new milestone in its history.”
