Bourbon owner Jacques de Chateauvieux has awarded his CEO role to COO Gael Bodenes as he becomes executive chairman.
De Chateauvieux was previously chairman and CEO, but has shaken up the team as deputy CEO Christian Lefevre leaves for de Chateauvieux's private Jaccar Holdings to become CEO there on 1 October.
The company said of Lefevre: "Thanks to his foresight regarding market trends and innovation in ship design, he implemented a high-growth strategy, unique in our industry, that turned Bourbon into a global leader in offshore oil and gas marine services.
