The Company is governed by a Board of Directors and a Chief Executive Officer. The choice to separate the offices of Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer was made in 2009 in order (i) to allow the Chief Executive Officer to focus on the implementation of the Group’s strategy and management and (ii) to ensure the best balance of powers between the Board of Directors and the executive management. The separation of roles has been considered again in 2019 to be best suited to the current circumstances and needs of Technicolor.
