In this role, Arnaud will focus on expanding the company's asset management platform in France, boosting sales, and improving team coordination to better serve clients.

This move highlights France's importance as Tikehau Capital's home market and a crucial part of its growth strategy. It also follows other recent governance enhancements, such as Jérôme Grumler's appointment as deputy CEO of Tikehau Investment Management, overseeing the Real Estate business.

Guillaume Arnaud has been with Tikehau Capital for almost two decades, holding various leadership positions. He possesses extensive expertise in asset management and a strong understanding of both institutional and private wealth markets in France. His appointment signifies a new phase of growth in the French market, especially after the full integration of Sofidy into Tikehau Investment Management.

Arnaud joined Tikehau Capital in 2007, bringing prior experience from Caisse Nationale des Caisses d’Épargne. He served in executive roles at Tikehau Investment Management from 2007 to 2018 before becoming chairman of Sofidy's Executive Board in 2019. Sofidy's operations were fully integrated into Tikehau Investment Management in April 2026.

Antoine Flamarion, cofounder of Tikehau Capital, commented: “With Guillaume Arnaud’s appointment as head of France, we are reaffirming our commitment to this strategic market, further accelerating our development and continuing to build on our momentum alongside our clients and partners. His experience, deep knowledge of the Group and strong understanding of the French market will be instrumental in supporting this new phase of growth.”
