CHANGES IN THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF REPLOID GROUP AG
• Alain Parent will assume operational responsibility for the
strategically important markets in France as well as in North and West
Africa and will therefore step down from the Group Executive Board
(Chief Strategy Officer).
• Jonas Finck, Deputy CEO, will take on operational responsibilities and
has been appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO).
• The Group Executive Board will therefore be reduced to two members.
WELS, Austria – January 15, 2026 – The Supervisory Board of REPLOID Group
AG (“REPLOID”) has decided on changes to the company’s Executive Board:
Alain Parent, previously Chief Strategy Officer, will take over management
of REPLOID’s business activities in France and in North and West Africa.
Accordingly, he will leave the Group Executive Board and, effective
February 2026, assume the position of CEO of REPLOID France SAS. Jonas
Finck, formerly Chief Biology Officer, takes over the Chief Operating
Officer (COO) function, reflecting the operational responsibilities he has
already taken on. Going forward, the Group Executive Board will consist of
two members:
• Philip Pauer, Chief Executive Officer
• Jonas Finck, Chief Operating Officer
REPLOID continues its dynamic growth path in 2026, with a strong focus on
the international expansion of the Group. France plays a central role in
this strategy given its scale and significance in the agricultural sector.
A native of France, Alain Parent has already concentrated on market
development there in recent months.
“With Alain Parent, REPLOID has an experienced senior executive who is
ideally suited to lead the company’s expansion into the French and North
African markets,” said Wenzel Staub, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
REPLOID Group AG.
Alain Parent added, “International expansion is the key to REPLOID’s
success. In recent months, I have focused intensively on the strategically
important French market and have already developed specific plans for
further countries in North and West Africa. As CEO of REPLOID France SAS,
I will now dedicate my full attention to advancing these initiatives.”
Philip Pauer, CEO of REPLOID Group AG, commented, “I am thrilled that
Alain Parent, with his experience and expertise, will lead REPLOID’s entry
into the French market. This market is of vital importance to our growth
strategy, and I am confident that Alain is the right person to make this
next step a success.”
Mr. Parent will step down from the Executive Board at the end of January
and assume the position of CEO of REPLOID France SAS effective February
2026.
