“This evolution of governance reflects a desire for modernization and efficiency. It will allow the PMU to better respond to the issues that are his both strategic and day-to-day management.

In a statement released on Thursday, the PMU officially announces that its general meeting, held on Thursday, voted to dissociate the functions of Chairman of the Board and Director General of its GIE.

As we have been announcing for several weeks, the choice of the governing bodies concerned Bertrand Meheut, President of the Canal + Group from 2003 to 2015, and Cyril Linette, who recently left the L’Equipe group, where he held the position of Chief Executive Officer. These two men know each other well, Cyril Linette having held the position of Sports Director at Canal + from 2008 to 2015, during which time Bertrand Meheut was at the head of the encrypted channel.
