Affine: a new governance to support its strategy
On December 6th, 2016, the Board of Directors of Affine decided, on the
proposal of Maryse Aulagnon, to change the governance of the company and split
the roles of chairman and CEO.
The objective of this change is to strengthen on one hand the strategic and
control functions, and on the other hand the executive functions.
Thus, as of January 1st, 2017, Maryse Aulagnon will be appointed Chairperson of
the Board. Alain Chaussard, currently co-CEO, will become CEO and will remain
Vice-Chairman of the Board. Finally, Matthieu Evrard, who joined Affine in
April 2016 as deputy CEO will become co-CEO and will be proposed to join the
Board at the next general assembly.
Maryse Aulagnon, who remains via MAB Finances the main shareholder of Affine,
will continue to fulfil certain strategic missions, in close connection with
the management, such as partnerships and alliances, investments and disposals,
and the representation of the company particularly in professional bodies.
