A new assignment to support CB’s strategic realignment!
On 14 February, during the CB Board of Directors meeting, Jean-Paul Mazoyer was unanimously re-elected Chairman of the Board for a new three-year term.
This re-election, marked by the unanimous support of the Board members, reflects the confidence placed in Jean-Paul Mazoyer to lead CB’s strategic realignment as part of the ”Dynamique 2026” plan launched in 2023. This strategic realignment gained new momentum in 2024 by becoming fully integrated into the national strategy for French payments through 2030, led by the CNMP (National Committee for Payment Methods) and Banque de France. In this context, CB is positioned as a key driver for addressing challenges related to national sovereignty in the area of payments.
Together with Philippe Laulanie, Director and CEO of CB, and the 11 other members of the Board of Directors, Jean-Paul Mazoyer proudly highlights CB’s new momentum, driven by a collective effort that demonstrates the strength of the shared vision and the joint efforts of all CB members.
Building on this re-election and a renewed three-year term, Jean-Paul Mazoyer will continue to pursue CB’s goal of consolidating its position among the sector’s leading players, driven by a firm commitment to making a positive contribution to the major societal transformations ahead, for the common good — and in particular for the benefit of retailers, consumers, and French citizens.
