LightOn Announces Governance Evolution to Support Strategic Development

Paris, August 27, 2025 - LightOn, a leading European player in generative AI for enterprises and the public sector, announces a change in its governance to structure the next phases of its strategic development and consolidate its fundamentals.

Effective September 1, 2025, Laurent Daudet, co-founder of the company, will take the presidency of a new Strategic Council, created to guide the company's major future orientations and identify long-term value creation opportunities. He will concurrently step down from his operational roles, retain his position as a board member, and remain a significant long-term shareholder of the company.

This Strategic Council will be composed of high-level experts and will enhance the company's vision, innovation, and execution capabilities. This enhanced vision will be a crucial asset in a context of intense acceleration in AI innovations (reasoning models, agentic AI, MCP protocol, "vibe coding"[1]), offering numerous strategic development opportunities.

Igor Carron, co-founder and CEO, states on this occasion: "This evolution will solidify our position as a key player in the enterprise AI market, combining long-term vision, daily operational excellence, and strengthened governance. I am pleased to continue to rely on Laurent in this new, stimulating framework of collaboration."

Laurent Daudet, co-founder and President of the Strategic Council, adds: "This decision was driven by the conviction that LightOn needs to adapt even more quickly to provide a clear direction in a constantly evolving sector. By stepping away from operations to return to the academic world, I choose to focus my efforts at LightOn on anticipating disruptions and major industry challenges in the medium and long term."
