Patrick Jeantet has been removed from his role as executive chairman of Keolis Group following an exceptional meeting between Keolis’ two shareholders, SNCF and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, and the company’s supervisory board.
Keolis cited “significant strategic differences” for Jeantet’s dismissal from a role he was appointed to in November 2019 and formally took on in February 2020. Jeantet previously worked for Keolis from 2005-2013 before being named as CEO of SNCF Réseau, and deputy chairman of the SNCF Executive Board in 2016.
In addition to Wantz-O’Rourke, the members of the executive committee include Group Executive Director France and CEO Effia Frédéric Baverez, Group Executive Director Human Resources and Organization Bruno Danet and Group Executive Director International Bernard Tabary.
