New finance chief joins from Ipsos next month and will take over from Pascal Chaffard, who will lead the operator’s online betting and gaming business
Paris-listed lottery and gaming operator FDJ United has brought in Ipsos Group’s Dan Lévy to serve as chief financial officer (CFO).
Effective May 18, Lévy will succeed Pascal Chaffard, who was recently appointed FDJ United’s chief online betting and gaming officer, alongside his role as group strategy and operational transformation officer.
Lévy has served as CFO of Paris-headquartered market research and consulting firm Ipsos since June 2022, and prior to that spent more than 12 years at French multinational bank Société Générale.
He spent the early part of his career at the French Ministry for the Economy and Finance, within the Directorate General of the Treasury and then the Directorate of the Budget. From 2005 to 2007, Lévy was seconded to the UK Treasury as an economist, before joining Société Générale in 2010.
“We are very pleased to welcome Dan Lévy as chief financial officer at FDJ United,” said chairwoman and CEO Stéphane Pallez. “With his solid financial background and international experience, Dan will be responsible for helping the group continue its transformation and implement its Play Forward 2028 strategic plan, announced in June 2025.”
Shares in FDJ United (EPA:FDJU) were trading 6.85 per cent lower at €24.60 per share after the company released its financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
