Eurosport has promoted Laurent-Eric Le Lay to the new post of chairman and CEO
as part of a management restructure of the pan-regional broadcaster’s
operations.
Le Lay (pictured), who has been with Eurosport since 1993, has been promoted
from his current role as managing director of broadcasting which he has held for
the past three years.
In further management reshuffles, Jacques Raynaud has been moved up the
company ladder from his current responsibilities for advertising and
distribution. He moves to a new board role as vice-chairman of Eurosport and CEO
of Eurosales, the group’s international advertising sales group.
