ArianeGroup has appointed Christophe Bruneau as Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2026, succeeding Martin Sion. His selection follows a thorough process by the Board, based on the Nominations and Remuneration Committee's recommendation.

Bruneau brings significant expertise in the space and defense sectors, which he will leverage to advance ArianeGroup's ongoing transformation. Matthieu Louvot, Chairman of the Board, highlighted Bruneau's knowledge of industrial collaborations, particularly within a French-German context. The transition occurs as ArianeGroup focuses on the industrial ramp-up of Ariane 6 and future civil and military program preparations.
