Jean-Victor Meyers

Jean-Victor Meyers, 25, studied economics and management in France and in the United States. Over the last two years, in the context of his professional experience, Jean-Victor spent several months with L’Oreal’s divisions, in France and abroad. He is a member of the Supervisory board of Téthys, the Bettencourt family holding, since January 2011. In October 2011, a judge made Lillie Bettencourt a ward of court, handing her daughter and two grandsons control over her financial affairs after a medical examination concluded she had dementia. With relations still strained between mother and daughter, legal responsibility for Bettencourt's health and personal welfare was given – at her request – to Jean-Victor, who was specifically tasked with helping her in her daily routine. From there, it was only logical that he should take her seat on the L'Oréal board. His nomination is expected to be approved by shareholders at the next annual meeting of the company, in which Nestlé holds 30% of shares.
