The Board of Directors extends its warmest thanks to Dimitri Boulte for his decisive contribution to SFL's success over some 14 years, particularly in his roles as Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer from 2015 and Chief Executive Officer from 2022. Over this period, SFL has become a benchmark player, recognised for the quality of its properties in the centre of Paris, its commitment to sustainable development and its expertise in managing exceptional projects.

Aude Grant succeeds Dimitri Boulte as Chief Executive Officer of SFL. In this capacity, she will complete the work on the merger with Colonial and implement the planned business combination between the two companies, prior to SFL continuing its operations within the Colonial group. She will be responsible for managing the group’s French operations, launching a new chapter in SFL's history in a still rapidly changing environment.

Pere Viñolas Serra, Chairman of the Board of Directors, said: “As Chairman of the Board of Directors, I would personally like to pay tribute to Dimitri for his work in supporting SFL over more than a decade. My fellow Board members and I have appreciated his extensive experience of the property sector, his commitment and his leadership qualities. SFL is now turning a page. I have every confidence in Aude Grant’s ability to grow SFL within a larger, more international group. Under her leadership, a particularly promising new chapter for SFL is beginning.”

Aude Grant said: “I would like to thank the SFL Board of Directors for its confidence in me and am delighted to be taking over as Chief Executive Officer as we prepare for the merger with Colonial. This is an exceptionally well-considered project that will unite the teams and I look forward to working with them. We will continue to build on the work already done to further improve the customer experience and meet the environmental and other challenges facing our industry, with a European vision.”

Dimitri Boulte said: “I’m proud of SFL’s accomplishments during my 14 years with the company. Over this period, SFL has been transformed into the benchmark player in the prime Parisian real estate sector. I'd like to thank all the SFL teams I've had the honour of managing and wish them all the best.”
