French opthalmic lens manufacturer Essilor International SA
(EI.FR) said Tuesday its board has decided to split the roles of
chairman and chief executive officer as of Jan. 1 next year and has
appointed Hubert Sagnieres as CEO.
Xavier Fontanet, chairman and CEO of Essilor since 1996, will
continue as chairman of the board of directors, Essilor said.
Essilor shareholders had voted last May to split the functions
of chairman and CEO.
Sagnieres has been chief operating officer of Essilor since
August 2008.
