We are pleased to announce that world-class athlete Lucas Pouille is joining the company’s share capital.
This transaction is part of a strategically aligned, long-term approach to accelerating the European growth of the French racquet-sports specialist.
The company’s governance remains unchanged. Lucas Pouille will act as a strategic adviser and ambassador on targeted projects, including innovation, European development, and activations.
“We are taking a symbolic and strategic step: associating a global sports figure with our trajectory strengthens our credibility, opens doors and feeds our day-to-day commitment to performance,” said Bruno Le Gall, CEO of Groupe Magellan.
In his new role with Groupe Magellan, Lucas will leverage his athlete’s perspective to support the company’s long-term growth and strategic projects.
Groupe Magellan holds the European license for Prince, and Lucas will contribute to advancing the brand’s development, delivering value to players, partners, and retail experiences both on court and in store.
Lucas Pouille added, “Joining the share capital of Groupe Magellan means continuing the story that began on court. I will bring my perspective as a high-level athlete and my network to accelerate product innovation and activations in Europe. I am starting a new role: listening, testing, explaining and sharing. My role will be to provide simple, honest reference points so that everyone can play with confidence, while supporting the development of Prince both on court and in store. I believe in this project because it is family-driven, clear, long-term and firmly rooted in what happens on court. I want to put my experience at the service of a development that creates value for the entire Prince community.”
