Riveo Limited has announced that Gregory Coquet will be appointed as its Chief Executive Officer, from October 1, 2026, as part of its succession planning. The incoming CEO will succeed to Francois Eynaud, who will retire from his executive responsibilities on September 30, 2026, having led the creation and steered the early development of RIVEO.
As part of a smooth transition, Eynaud will remain on the Board as a Non-Executive Director and continue to provide his experience and strategic insight in an advisory capacity, thus ensuring continuity. Gregory Coquet currently serves as Chief Operations and Asset Management Officer.
Coquet brings over two decades of experience in international hospitality, having started his career in Europe before taking on senior leadership roles in Mauritius, where he notably served as General Manager of Shangri-La Le Touessrok, which is part of the RIVEO portfolio, following earlier leadership roles across high-end resort environments on the island.
His career has given him a broad operational grounding across key hotel functions, as well as a strong understanding of resort dynamics and guest experience standards.
Since joining RIVEO, he has played a central role in the structuring and management of the portfolio, working across both operational performance and asset positioning. The soon-to-be-appointed CEO’s progression within the group reflects a close and continuous involvement in RIVEO’s development, from its early stages to its current structure.
Reflecting on this transition, Francois Eynaud says: “RIVEO was created to bring together a set of high-quality hospitality assets under a more focused structure. We took time to put the right foundations in place and to define a clear framework. I am confident in the team’s ability to take it forward.”
Commenting on his appointment, Gregory Coquet says: “I am proud to take on the leadership of RIVEO and to support its continued evolution, working closely with the teams and with commitment, while ensuring the portfolio delivers purposeful value over time. I would also like to thank the Board for its trust”.
This announcement is made at an early stage as part of a structured succession process, designed to ensure continuity in leadership while supporting the next phases of RIVEO’s development.
