Financial Press Release
Laurent-Perrier plans for the future,
changes announced to Supervisory Board.
The meeting of the Laurent-Perrier Supervisory Board held on 11 July 2017,
chaired by Mr Maurice de Kervénoaël, duly noted the resignation for personal
reasons of Mr Bernard de La Giraudière from his position as member of the
Supervisory Board.
Bernard de La Giraudière joined Laurent-Perrier in 1967 to assist Bernard de
Nonancourt in the brand's development and international distribution. He has
held many positions and in 1983 was appointed a Director of Laurent-Perrier.
The members of the Supervisory Board expressed their thanks and gratitude for
the quality of his unbroken contribution to the development of Laurent-Perrier
over the years, especially in international markets, and in the United Kingdom
market in particular, where he will continue as Chairman of the UK subsidiary.
Furthermore, the Laurent-Perrier General Shareholders Meeting held on 12 July
2017, appointed Ms Jocelyne Vassoille as a member of the Supervisory Board. The
appointment will strengthen the Board, bringing experience in human resources,
in particular within the international luxury industry, along with her expertise
in corporate organisation and strategy.
Jocelyne Vassoille, 51, trained as a Civil Aviation engineer and started out as
an airline pilot.
In 1991, she joined a Human Resources consultancy as Managing Director. Having
completed a PhD in European Human Resources at IGS, Jocelyne Vassoille joined
the Danone Group in 1996, where she became Southern Europe Director of Human
Resources, Talent Management in the Fresh Dairy Products Division, and Group
Sales and Marketing functions.
In 2008, she moved to LVMH as Head of Human Resources in charge of Group
Sourcing and the Selective Distribution, and Cosmetics and Fragrances Divisions,
subsequently being appointed Director of Global Human Resources at Christian
Dior.
In late 2013, on the strength of this extensive experience in human resources
management, Jocelyne Vassoille joined Vivarte (Minelli, André, San Marina,
Caroll, Naf-Naf, Chevignon, etc.) as Group Head of Human Resources and a member
of the Executive Committee.
Since 2016, Jocelyne Vassoille has held the position of Director of Human
Resources of L'Oréal's Research & Innovation Division.
The Supervisory Board now comprises ten members (Maurice de Kervénoaël,
Chairman, Patrick Thomas, Vice-Chairman, Marie Cheval, Claude de Nonancourt,
Yann Duchesne, Éric Meneux, Jean-Louis Pereyre, Bernard Rascle, Wendy Siu and
Jocelyne Vassoille), who will provide Laurent-Perrier with a range of
complementary skills to steer the Group's future development.
Following the General Shareholders Meeting, the Supervisory Board met to renew
the terms of office of Management Board members.
At that meeting, Michel Fauconnet, Group Head of Supplies and Production and
Cellar Master, asked to be allowed to devote his time fully to the handover and
completion of ongoing operational projects in the Laurent-Perrier Group in order
to prepare for his phased succession, to accompany the teams and to assist the
Group as long as is necessary.
Michel Fauconnet will continue to provide the Group and the Management Board
(henceforth composed of Stéphane Dalyac, Chairman, and Alexandra Pereyre and
Stéphanie Meneux Chief Executive Officers and majority shareholders) with the
benefit of his advice, experience and skills.
The Management Board confirmed that it intended to maintain its chosen strategic
course of long-term value creation, in particular to consolidate its sales
growth drivers and to continue investing in its flagship Laurent-Perrier brand
while henceforth benefiting from its enlarged, optimised production capacity.
Laurent-Perrier is one of the few champagne houses listed on the French stock
exchange dedicated exclusively to champagne and focused on the premium segment.
Laurent-Perrier offers a broad range of products renowned for their quality, and
sold under the Laurent-Perrier, Salon, Delamotte, and Champagne de Castellane
