Martin Roll
About this episode

Sébastien Damery is the 8th generation of the Peugeot business family and serves as the Family Council Coordinator.

Peugeot was founded in 1810 in the eastern part of France and became one of the leading global car manufacturers.

Many changes have taken place in the global automotive industry in recent years, including consolidation of car brands. In 2020, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot announced their merged operations under the new name Stellantis.

The holding company of the Peugeot family group is called Etablissements Peugeot Frères and was founded in 1810. It maintains a stake in Stellantis but also has many activities and investments outside the car industry.

Sébastien works at the family holding company where he is involved in the coordination of the family council and next generation activities, as well as the relationships with other global business families.

Sébastien shares his inspiring story with podcast editor & host Martin Roll, and discusses how to navigate generational transitions, manage family dynamics, create next generation journeys, structure family governance, and make strategic choices to safeguard the family legacy in a dynamic global environment.

INSEAD Family Business aims to inspire family business leaders, professionals, and the next generations to build and foster long-term success, legacy, and impact of family businesses.

Join Martin Roll as he features prominent guests and learns from the diversity of topics that matter most for the long-term management and success of family businesses across generations.

Martin Roll is a Distinguished Fellow at the INSEAD Wendel International Centre for Family Enterprise and a global family business & family office expert.
