After forty years leading Julbo, Christophe Beaud is retiring, with Damien Guillobez stepping in as the new General Manager of the renowned French sports eyewear brand.
Guillobez, a graduate in optics and optometry with deep family ties to the Haut-Jura region, aligns closely with Julbo’s heritage and outdoor focus. His career spans nearly two decades at Essilor, where he managed operations in Eastern Europe, and over three years as Vice President of Bollé Safety, driving the company’s international expansion.
Beaud had anticipated this transition, selling Julbo to Peugeot Frères Industries in 2022.
