Vivendi confirms Bolloré, names four other board appointees

Vivendi’s supervisory board is set to confirm Bolloré chairman and CEO Vincent Bolloré as a member of its board at the company’s general shareholders’ meeting on April 30. 

Viviendi will also name Nathalie Bricault, who will represent the company’s employee shareholders for the first time, to the board, as well as former Apple Europe, Middle East, India and Africa general manager and vice-president Pascal Cagni. Also new to the board will be Yseulys Costes, chairman and CEO and founder of the interactive marketing company 1000mercis, and Alexandre de Juniac, chairman and CEO of Air France.

Maureen Chiquet and Christophe de Margerie have decided not to renew their term of office in 2013.

Bolloré was co-opted as a board member in December following the acquisition of channels Direct 8 and Direct Star by Canal Plus.
