Pascal Mogavero, a graduate from the Ecole Polytechnique and Supaero, has extensive experience in Media and High-Tech, particularly in technological project management, digital strategy and business transformation. After starting his career in 1999 at Andersen Consulting, he moved on to the CANAL+ Group in 2007 where he gained strong skills in strategy & development of new commercial offers and where his interest in customer experience was born.

In 2015, he joined Hiscox Europe Direct as the head of the operations department in charge of sales and customer services, and led the digitisation and automation of all interactions on all distribution channels throughout continental Europe. “I am delighted and honoured to join the Ymagis Group and take over the management of one of the great companies in the cinema industry with its wealth of cinema and audiovisual expertise. Leading the rich and ambitious development and digital transformation plan at Eclair to a successful conclusion in close collaboration with the European teams is an exciting challenge to which I shall be devoting all my energy,” declared Pascal Mogavero.
