Comexposium appoints Pablo Nakhlé Cerruti as managing director
French events group Comexposium has appointed Pablo Nakhlé Cerruti as its new chief executive officer, effective August 25. He succeeds Renaud Hamaide, who stepped down earlier this year after leading the company for over a decade, amid disagreements with shareholders. Nakhlé Cerruti brings extensive experience in events and communications. He most recently launched his own fund management firm, Copheam, before joining Mediawan—an independent production studio with more than 80 companies—where he served as managing director of diversification. His return to Comexposium marks a comeback to an industry he knows well. From 2011 to 2014, Nakhlé Cerruti served as director of communications at Unibail-Rodamco. He then joined Viparis, the major Paris-region venue operator, rising through the ranks to become executive general manager from 2018 to 2023. Earlier in his career, he also worked as a speechwriter for Christine Lagarde during her tenure at France's Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry from 2009 to 2011. 'We welcome Pablo Nakhlé Cerruti and are confident he will drive Comexposium's growth to benefit our teams, event communities and stakeholders,' the group said in a statement. Sipac—part of the Paris Île-de-France Chamber of Commerce and Industry—and Crédit Agricole Assurances jointly own Comexposium. The group organizes more than 150 events in 20 countries, covering industries such as food, real estate, retail, fashion and lifestyle. Notable events in its portfolio include SIAL (the global food trade show), SIEC (the commercial real estate exhibition), Foire de Paris, Who's Next (via WSN Développement), One to One Retail and the NRF Retail Big Show. Comexposium recently completed all milestones in the financial safeguard plan approved in 2022, and is now entering a new phase under Nakhlé Cerruti's leadership.
