The sporting goods supplier Puma SE has filled a key position. On Wednesday, the company announced that the board of directors had elected Héloïse Temple-Boyer as the new chair of the board. She succeeded Jean-François Palus.
According to a statement, Palus resigned as chairman at the end of the ordinary general meeting on Wednesday. However, he will continue to be a member of the supervisory board, on which he has been a member since 2007, in order to “enable an orderly handover to Héloïse Temple-Boyer,” Puma explained. As soon as a successor has been found for his seat, he wants to withdraw from the committee.
The new chairwoman Temple-Boyer has been a member of the supervisory board of the sports goods retailer since 2019. She is also a member of the company’s Audit Committee. “It is an honor for me to succeed Jean-François Palus in the responsible position as Chairman of the Supervisory Board,” she said in a statement on the occasion of her election. “It is not least thanks to him that Puma is well positioned and well prepared for the challenges of the future. We would like to thank him for this on behalf of the entire Supervisory Board.”
