Stéphane Pallez

Stéphane Pallez has served as Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of La Française des Jeux since 2014. Under her leadership, the company has undergone a major transformation, combining growth, digitalization, innovation and societal commitment. In 2019, she led FDJ’s privatization through its successful IPO on Euronext Paris, which attracted strong interest from retail investors while reaffirming the company’s values through the definition of its corporate purpose and the creation of a stakeholder committee. In 2024, FDJ entered a new phase of its international development by launching a friendly offer for Kindred, one of Europe’s leading gaming operators. As a result, in 2025, the FDJ Group became FDJ UNITED, a European champion in gaming and betting.
