STMicroelectronics N.V. (STM)
Who runs STMicroelectronics N.V.
Jean-Marc Chery has been president and chief executive since May 2018 and chairs the Managing Board, which under Dutch law runs the company under the supervision of a separate Supervisory Board; his current term runs to the 2027 annual meeting. He has spent his career in the business: he joined Thomson Semiconducteurs, one of the two companies that became ST, in 1986, ran its wafer fabs in Tours and Rousset, became chief technology officer in 2008, chief operating officer in 2014 and deputy chief executive in July 2017. Lorenzo Grandi, the only other Managing Board member, has been president and chief financial officer since 2018; he joined in 1987 as a research and development process engineer. 123456
Below them sits an eight-member Executive Committee, six of whose members have spent more than three decades at the company. Marco Cassis, who joined in 1987 as a car-radio chip designer, has run the Analog, Power & Discrete, MEMS and Sensors group since February 2024; Remi El-Ouazzane, who came from Texas Instruments, Movidius and Intel, has run the Microcontrollers, Digital ICs and RF group since the same month. Fabio Gualandris heads quality, manufacturing and technology and chairs the silicon carbide joint venture in China; Jerome Roux runs sales and marketing, Steven Rose legal and public affairs, and Rajita D'Souza human resources. 789101112131415
Oversight comes from a nine-member Supervisory Board chaired by Nicolas Dufourcq, chief executive of Bpifrance, the French public investment bank, since 2013, with Armando Varricchio, an Italian diplomat and former ambassador to the United States and Germany, as vice-chairman since December 2025. The board mirrors the largest shareholder: STMicroelectronics Holding, through which the French and Italian governments hold their stakes via Bpifrance and Italy's Ministry of the Economy and Finance, owned 27.5% of the shares at the end of 2025. Under their agreement each government proposes three of the nine members, and the two alternate the chairman and vice-chairman every three years. Orio Bellezza, who spent about 40 years at ST and ran its technology and manufacturing until July 2023, joined the board in December 2025. 161718192021222324
