Pascal DEMURGER

Bio

A former ENA student, Pascal Demurger left the budget department of the Ministry of the Economy and Finance to join MAIF in 2002. He held various positions before taking over the management of the group in 2009. Elected president of the Groupement des Entreprises Mutuelles d'Assurance (GEMA) in 2014, he is also working to build the Fédération Française de l'Assurance, of which he has been vice president since its creation in 2016 and until July 2019. He is also the first president of the Association des Assureurs Mutualistes founded the same year. As a committed executive, he believes that the company must assume its responsibilities to solve our contemporary ecologic and social challenges. He shared this conviction in a book, L'entreprise du XXIè siècle sera politique ou ne sera plus (Editions de l'Aube), published in June 2019. He describes an original business model, which endures : MAIF became a mission-driven company in 2020 and has recently taken noteworthy actions such as the reimbursement of car premiums during the Covid-19 crisis or the creation of an ecological dividend. In January 2022, he published a report, in partnership with the Jean Jaurès Foundation, in which he formulated 12 proposals seeking to modify regulations in order to encourage each company to commit to the ecological and social transition. As an extension of these reflections, he is involved in the Impact France movement and became its co-president in May 2023.
