PY Gerbeau

PY Gerbeau is a business leader and transformation expert who has a formidable track record in turning around failing businesses. During his highly diverse career, he has earned a reputation for tackling major corporate challenges and successfully turning around struggling organisations. 

His unique approach has always placed customer experience at the forefront while also navigating profit, reputation, regulatory issues, and government involvement. Many of PY’s projects have been high-profile, often under intense public and media scrutiny, with some seemingly destined to fail—but PY consistently proved otherwise.

Currently, PY is the President of the French Ice Hockey Federation and a member of the French Olympic Committee. His most recent achievement was playing a pivotal role in securing the Winter Olympics for France in 2030, a monumental task that was completed in record time and hailed by the international sports media as a “sports miracle.”

Before his corporate career, PY was a professional ice hockey player, representing France in multiple European and World Championships and earning a spot to compete in the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary.

His promising career, however, was tragically cut short due to a severe accident, which left him confined to a wheelchair for 18 months. Despite the devastating setback, this marked the beginning of his remarkable transition from sports to the corporate world.
