Geoffroy Roux de Bézieux was named president of the 2030 Winter Olympics organizing committee on Thursday, succeeding Edgar Grospiron who left the position in September. Roux de Bézieux, who led the French business lobby MEDEF from 2018 to 2023, will start his role on Monday. He was unanimously appointed by stakeholders and is a former board member of the Paris 2024 Olympics and the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Vincent Roberti served as interim president after Grospiron's departure and had replaced chief executive Cyril Linette earlier in the year. The 2030 French Alps Olympics have faced multiple setbacks, including leadership changes and venue disputes, with organizers aiming to stabilize the project less than four years before the Games.
