SUEZ Appoints Xavier Girre as CEO
Upon the recommendation of the Nomination and Compensation Committee, the Board of directors of SUEZ, in its meeting recently, unanimously approved the appointment of Xavier Girre as CEO of SUEZ, as of 1 July 2025.
“As promised, the Board of directors has looked for and identified the best leader to accelerate the development of SUEZ. We are convinced that Xavier Girre, through his outstanding career, his in-depth knowledge of our businesses and his leadership, will successfully carry out this mission. He can count on the Board and SUEZ teams’ full support. The Board expresses its gratitude to Pierre Pauliac and Yves Rannou, who acted as co-CEOs during the last months. In addition to their roles as Water and Recycling & Recovery COOs and managing day-to-day operations, they succeeded in accelerating the Group’s transformation plan and strategic roadmap deployment,” said Thierry Déau, Chairman.
I am honoured to soon assume the role of CEO of SUEZ. I am delighted to join the 40,000 men and women who work daily in 40 countries to bring concrete and innovative solutions in water and waste services to SUEZ’s customers, as our predecessors have done for the past 160 years. I thank Thierry Déau, Chairman of the Board of directors of SUEZ, and all the Board members for their trust.
