Eiffage SA, France’s third-largest construction company, named founder Jean-Francois Roverato as chairman and Max Roche as chief executive officer to temporarily succeed Pierre Berger, who died last week from a heart attack at the age of 47.
The company wants to find a successor for both positions by the end of February, Velizy-Villacoublay, France-based Eiffage said in a statement Monday following a board meeting. Berger had succeeded Roverato as CEO in 2011 and as chairman the following year. Roche, 62, has been deputy CEO of the highway operator since June 2011 and was previously chief financial officer.
