Top management change at Leroy Merlin

Leroy Merlin Romania, a retailer specialized in construction, decoration and gardening, will have a new CEO starting on June 23. Mathieu Bauduin, currently North-East Regional Director within the company, will take over the management of the retailer from Frédéric Lamy, the CEO of Leroy Merlin Romania for the past 9 years.

Mathieu Bauduin is 36 years old, married and has a 6-year-old daughter. He has been living in Romania since the summer of last year, when he took over the position of North – East Regional Director within Leroy Merlin Romania, being responsible for the development and coordination of stores in Iași, Suceava, Bacău, Ploiești, Târgoviște and Constanța.

“I had the opportunity and the chance to come to Romania to continue the development of this company. My objective is to consolidate and ensure a sustainable evolution of the work done by Frédéric and his teams over the past 9 years. Romania is a wonderful country with a strong culture and values ​​similar to those of Leroy Merlin – respect, generosity and simplicity are just a few of them. Moreover, it is an important country on the ADEO map with incredible potential in the DIY and renovation market. In this sense, I will focus on developing and supporting the skills of our teams, accelerating in the omnichannel area, expanding the network and developing new partnerships. We have wonderful prospects for development and improving the comfort of Romanians, and we will do this with care for the impact we have on the people, communities and environment that hosts us, the entire planet. The context, the environment, everything changes, and Leroy Merlin always adapts. What remains stable is the fact that we choose to put people first, their development, their safety, whether we are talking about customers, colleagues or partners. At Leroy Merlin we always think of development in its complexity, combining the economic with the human and the environmental. Everyone’s future depends on it,” says Mathieu Bauduin.
