A career built in the heart of the company
Since joining the company in 2020, Jeanne Gautier has held several operational roles before joining the Executive Committee in early 2024. This path has enabled her to gain knowledge of the sector's challenges, market expectations, key customers, and Gautier Semences' unique strengths.

"My priority is to build a robust, coherent strategy aligned with our long-term vision by strengthening our competitiveness in key markets. We must continue to invest in research, varietal innovation, and new production capabilities while anticipating major transitions in the agricultural sector."

In a time of significant transformation in agriculture and food systems, Gautier Semences reaffirms its intent to expand its presence in strategic markets: high-tech segments internationally (notably in tomatoes and lettuce) and low-tech segments in four target countries—France, Italy, Spain, and Morocco.

The company is focused on more agile decision-making, a streamlined organization centered around its Executive Committee, and a strategy that addresses tomorrow's major challenges: increased investment in breeding research and technologies, proactive adaptation to environmental challenges, and varietal excellence as a key differentiator.
