MAIF

A graduate of ENA (class of Victor Schoelcher), Pascal Demurger began his career as an advisor to the Aquitaine regional audit office before joining the Budget department of the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance.

He left the Ministry to join MAIF in 2002, where he held several management positions before taking over as Chief Executive Officer in 2009. He has transformed the company in several ways: reorganising the network and the business lines, introducing a trust-based management approach, making customer satisfaction the central focus, and placing the company’s impact at the centre of its business model.

Pascal Demurger was appointed Chairman of GEMA (Groupement des Entreprises Mutuelles d’Assurance) in 2014. He also helped establish the Fédération Française de l’Assurance, where he served as Vice-Chairman from its creation in 2016 until July 2019.

A committed leader, he believes that business must take responsibility for resolving the environmental and social challenges of our time. He shared this conviction in a book entitled L’entreprise du XXIe siècle sera politique ou ne sera plus, published in June 2019 by Editions de l’Aube. In it, he describes MAIF’s original and sustainable business model: from its adoption of mission-led status in 2020, to a few recent high-profile initiatives, such as reimbursing car premiums during the health crisis and creating an environmental dividend.

He readily shares his experience with other companies, for example by chairing the mission committees of Doctolib and KPMG.

In January 2022, he published a report in partnership with the Fondation Jean Jaurès, setting out 12 proposals for regulations that would encourage all companies to commit to the ecological and social transition.
As an extension of these ideas, he became Co-Chairman of the Impact France movement in May 2023.

Pascal Demurger is part of the Audit and Risks Committee.
