Comments: Groupe Rocher announced new corporate governance effective July 1, 2023. Bris Rocher, chairman and CEO of the Groupe Rocher since 2009 and grandson of the founder Yves Rocher, delegated his executive functions to Jean-David Schwartz, who is now CEO of the Groupe Rocher.
As chairman, Bris Rocher will define and lead the group’s long-term strategic vision and its unique position as a mission-driven company. The executive management team will ensure the operational management of the business and the implementation of short and medium-term strategies, according to officials.
“By delegating the executive duties to a new CEO, we seek to reinforce transparency, independency, and responsibility within our organization. Jean-David Schwartz has my full confidence. His many interpersonal and managerial qualities, his outstanding knowledge of the Group as well as his international experience and his track record in leading the Group’s brands make him the natural candidate. I firmly believe that this strengthened governance will enable us to tackle future challenges collectively, maximizing our development potential and financial performance. This is the best way we will secure to pass on our family heritage to next generations,” said Bris Rocher.
Additionally, Groupe Rocher’s executive committee has been overhauled to be more operational, swift and agile, according to the company. The reshaped executive committee is composed of new members, mainly issued from the Groupe Rocher. Led by Schwartz, it has two core divisions—People and Mission group, directed by Jeanne Renard, and Finance and Legal group, led by Laurent Delaurière. Operational divisions leaders include Stanislas Duthier (information systems) and Vincent Taglioni (operations). A director of new product development had yet to be named at press time.
