The Lagardère group pays tribute to Sophie Stabile

Arnaud Lagardère, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lagardère SA, and all Lagardère group employees express their deep sadness at the passing of Sophie Stabile, the Group’s Chief Financial Officer, and offer their condolences to her family and loved ones.

Arnaud Lagardère pays tribute to Sophie Stabile: “Having joined Lagardère in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis, Sophie Stabile did remarkable work to help the Group bounce back. She also knew how to rally her teams around ambitious projects to optimise financial and operational performance. For several years, she fought courageously against her illness with the same energy. My thoughts and those of the Group’s employees are with her family and loved ones at this very painful time.”
