Gabrielle Petillon, who had been Head of Legal and Compliance within the Diot-Siaci Group since 2016, is joining the Adelaïde Group from 3 July 2023. Equipped with an extensive knowledge of insurance and a very detailed knowledge of the market, Gabrielle Petillon will be tasked primarily with spearheading the group’s legal expertise in France and abroad. She will also manage the action plans to be implemented in order to meet the requirements and address the changes in compliance.
A graduate in Law, Gabrielle Petillon has also worked as a legal expert specialised in personal and property insurance for MFP Services. In 2005, she subsequently joined Les Assurances Saint-Honoré (Diot-Siaci Group), where she held various functions, including leadership of the “liberal professions” Compensation department.
Within the Adelaïde Group, she will also take on the functions of Data Protection Officer (DPO) against a backdrop of increasingly stringent obligations regarding the processing of personal data, and on an insurance market where data is a strategic asset.
Moreover, given that the Adelaïde Group has undertaken six external growth operations over the past six years, her expertise and guidance will be invaluable in relation to future mergers and acquisitions.

As compliance requirements continue to proliferate, Gabrielle’s recruitment reflects our intention to ensure the smooth growth and consolidation of our operations. She is also further proof of the Adelaïde Group’s attractiveness and our ambition to build an international and innovative group,” says Gilles Bénéplanc.
