Laurent Vallet

Laurent Vallet has been at the helm of the Institut national de l’audiovisuel (INA) since 2015 and has recently been reappointed for a third five-year term. His continued leadership reflects a commitment to stability within the governance of public audiovisual enterprises in France amidst rapid industry changes. Vallet, who is 55 years old, was extended in his role upon the recommendation of Culture Minister Rachida Dati. Unlike other leaders in the public audiovisual sector, his appointment is not subjected to the same regulatory processes, as the INA operates as a public industrial and commercial establishment. Vallet has shown a cautious yet evolving stance towards proposed reforms in the public broadcasting landscape.
