HOPSCOTCH evolves its governance structure
and establishes an expanded Executive Committee to drive its global ambition
HOPSCOTCH, the international communications group founded in France, is today transforming its Management Committee into an Executive Committee (COMEX).
Comprising 11 members, this expanded Executive Committee will be responsible for defining the HOPSCOTCH One strategy and ambition, while overseeing its implementation both in France and internationally. It reflects the Group's growth momentum and the increasing importance of its core areas of expertise, at the intersection of influence, events and digital communications: relational capital.
This strategic asset, at the heart of HOPSCOTCH's positioning, serves as a sustainable driver of growth for its clients and a key factor of resilience in times of crisis.
HOPSCOTCH's governance evolution comes at an unprecedented time for the communications industry: the rise of artificial intelligence, its impact on content and formats, and the reconfiguration of usage patterns. At the same time, media ecosystems are rapidly reshaping, while geopolitical tensions are reinforcing expectations of accuracy, consistency, and proximity directed at brands and organizations.
In this new environment, HOPSCOTCH believes that value is shifting even more toward relationship quality, deep understanding of audiences, cultural anchoring of messages, and the ability to articulate global vision with local execution. This conviction is precisely what the establishment of the new COMEX reflects.
An Executive Committee Designed to Accelerate the Group's Development
The Executive Committee's mission will be to develop, steer, and deploy the HOPSCOTCH One strategy, by strengthening alignment between the Group's major governance functions, its business expertise, and its international development. It represents an evolution toward a more inclusive governance model: better representation of the Group's key business lines and a clear international ambition.
It will support the Group's acceleration in its key markets, with an organization now more representative of its model and trajectory, while more than 60% of its business is conducted internationally.
The COMEX brings together the three members of the Executive Board - Frédéric Bedin, Benoît Désveaux, and Pierre-Franck Moley - along with Management Committee members Valérie Bonnement - Executive Vice President Business Strategy, Marie de Beauregard, VP Human Resources & Culture, and Juliette Crépin, VP Finance & Administration.
It expands to include five new members, three of whom are Vice-Presidents representing the Group's strategic business lines: Charles-Antoine Colomb, VP Public Relations; Carla de Oliveira, VP Events; Arthur Kannas, VP Digital, Creative & Innovation.
Two Vice-Presidents also strengthen the Group's international dimension: Raphaël Lachkar, VP Global Client Solutions; Sylvain Rouchy, VP Global Operations.
Frédéric Bedin, Chairman of the Executive Board and Co-CEO of HOPSCOTCH, commented
- By evolving our Management Committee into an expanded Executive Committee, we are equipping ourselves to drive the HOPSCOTCH One ambition more effectively, in line with the reality of our Group: more international, more integrated and more structured around its areas of expertise. We are choosing a governance model that strengthens expertise, execution and relationships alike.
Our conviction is simple: the more communication becomes synthetic, the more value lies in authenticity, cultural relevance and human connections. That is the strength we intend to build on and accelerate.-
