Renewed Europcar Mobility Group Executive Committee Team to Implement EXCEED Strategic Plan

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With Christian Bouzaid joining early March as Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer, the renewed executive team who will lead the transformation of Europcar Mobility Group over the coming years is now complete.

Today, the Group Executive Committee composition is as follows:

- Alain Favey, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Management Board.
- Philip de Klerk, Chief Finance Officer, member of the Management Board.
- José Blanco, Chief Sales Officer.
- Christian Bouzaid, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer.
- Claire Charbit, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer.
- Stéphane Crasnier, Chief Operations & Fleet Officer.
- Carlos Leira, Chief Product & Technology Officer.
- Dominique Speekenbrink, General Counsel.
- Sybille Van Steijn, Chief Human Resources Officer.

This highly international team, reflecting the Group's European DNA, stands out for the mix of its skills and the variety of professional backgrounds it brings together: with experience acquired in international groups like Air France or Disney, family businesses or car manufacturers like Volkswagen or BMW, with a common denominator being a successful contribution to business transformations in their previous positions.

EXCEED, the new Group’s strategic framework, can now enter its deployment phase. The plan, which has been initially shared with the Group’s top 150 leadership team in December 2023, is now structured in a 5-year roadmap recently presented to the Group’s shareholding consortium composed of Volkswagen Financial Services, Attestor and Pon.

EXCEED encompasses three pillars, on which the Group will rely to drive its growth in the coming years:

- Excel: operational excellence initiatives, at all levels, in all functions, with a strong focus on the quality of the physical and digital customer journey.
- Expand: profitable growth on high value customer segments and geographic areas, thanks to a strong sales momentum and the repositioning of the Group’s brands - with Europcar championing the Premium value proposition, and Goldcar the smart choice one.
- Explore: development of offers and services that meet customers’ new expectations and emerging societal trends, leveraging natural synergies with the Volkswagen ecosystem.

"With this unique combination of a diverse leadership team and shareholder consortium, our Group is best positioned to play an active role in shaping the future of mobility. We look forward to demonstrating how we can bring tangible benefits to partners and customers, helping to change the way they move.

This year marks our 75th anniversary. What better way to celebrate this than to look to the future of mobility and lead the change?" commented Alain Favey.
