The family story continues. As of May 20, 2025, Edouard Peugeot will be appointed non-executive chairman of the board of directors of the family holding company, Renault Invest, following his father Robert. The latter, affected by the age limit of the investment company, will abandon his mandates on this date, with the exception of those exercised within certain subsidiaries and participations, including Stellantis. He will be named honorary president of Peugeot Invest.
Edouard Peugeot, 40, has been a director of Peugeot Invest since 2020, a mandate renewed in 2024. As non-executive chairman, he will continue to exercise his functions at the TowerBrook investment fund (shareholder of the Infopro Digital group, owner of L’Usine Nouvelle), where he has served as general manager since 2011, in charge of covering the French market.
This graduate of a master’s degree in business and business administration from Paris-Dauphine University began his career in 2008 in the investment bank JP Morgan, as an associate in the industrial investments team in Europe.
A new general manager
In July 2024, Peugeot Invest also announced the appointment of Jean-Charles Douin as general manager, replacing Bertrand Finet, whose role ended this summer. This HEC Paris graduate has twenty years of experience in private equity. He worked for sixteen years at the Canadian pension fund Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.
Peugeot Invest is notably the second shareholder of the Stellantis group (7.4% of the capital), within which we find the Peugeot brand. The investment company notably owns 3.1% of the automotive supplier Forvia. Among the recent changes in its portfolio is the entry into the capital, announced in November 2024, of Robertet, the world leader in natural raw materials for perfumes and flavorings, and the sale, last February, of its stake in the Seb group.
