[Wandering Eyes]

Guillaume Herrnberger, currently managing director of AFASEC, has been appointed to the role of deputy managing director of France Galop, alongside Henri Pouret who has held the same title since February 2024.

France Galop will now be managed in tandem by Pouret and Herrnberger, both of whom will report to the president, Guillaume de Saint-Seine, who chaired a meeting of the Board of Directors on Monday.

The appointment of Herrnberger and changes to the leadership structure follow the departure of Elie Hennau from his role as managing director last month.

“I am very pleased to join France Galop to lead the transformation alongside Henri Pouret,” said Herrnberger, who has been the CEO of AFASEC since 2021.

“I have been a racing enthusiast since my youth, having been a breeder and owner with a high school friend. My background, involved in corporate transformation as an employee and expert consultant in this field, is an asset for meeting the challenges ahead alongside Henri Pouret.

“I thank Guillaume de Saint-Seine and the members of the Board of Directors for their confidence.”

Guillaume de Saint-Seine added, “Our ambition is to accelerate the recovery of French flat racing, to evolve our economic model and our way of working, while preserving our equestrian culture, unique in the world of sports and leisure.

“The partnership between Henri Pouret and Guillaume Herrnberger, who have two very complementary profiles, is perfectly suited to our ambition to lead modernization while respecting our fundamentals.”
