Background
Patrice de Talhouët has more than 20 years of international experience (U.S., UK, Belgium, etc.) in large mainly family-owned groups (Alcatel-Lucent, Mars, Coty).
He began his career at Société Générale Luxembourg, where he spent five years as a credit analyst and then as head of financial control. He then joined the Alcatel group for 12 years, where he held various financial responsibilities, in central cash management, central financial controlling and as Chief Financial Officer of Divisions.
Patrice then worked for the Mars family group for seven years where, after serving as Chief Financial Officer Europe, he worked directly with the Mars family (which owns the company’s entire share capital) in the United States.
Patrice then joined the New York-listed cosmetics group Coty (S&P 500) as Group Chief Financial Officer for five years, based initially in New York, then in London. Patrice was subsequently responsible for JAB Consumer Fund in Europe, within the family holding company that owns a controlling interest in Coty.
Since May 2022, he has been Chief Executive Officer and a Managing Director of Bellon SA, a position created to conduct effectively its operations - notably the control and joint coordination of the Sodexo Group as well as support for the Group’s long-term growth.
Former director of Café Joyeux and Chairman of the Board of Fondation des Amis de l’Arche since October 2024, Patrice is deeply involved in the disability community. He also contributes to the development of inclusive solidarity-driven business models.
