TANGRAM Talks with Stéphane Richard

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Stéphane Richard, Chairman of the Management Board of Olympique de Marseille, of which CMA CGM is the main partner.

In football, results are immediate, highly visible and passionately debated — particularly in Marseille, where the club is an institution that brings people together far beyond the pitch.

Yet the decisions that shape a club’s future — its teams, academy, infrastructure and business model — require a longer-term perspective and must now be considered on a European, and even global, scale.

His insights resonated with several challenges shared by our Group:

• balancing immediate performance with a long-term vision;
• bringing together teams from different cultures;
• building on strong roots in Marseille to pursue global ambitions.

This is precisely the ambition of TANGRAM Talks: bringing together different experiences and perspectives to inspire reflection and prepare for the future.
