Roland Paul is the new boss of the bosses of Vaucluse, elected president of Medef 84 for the next three years. At 59, he is the president of GSE (619 employees, 2023 turnover: €875.5 million), a specialist in logistics, industrial and tertiary real estate based in Avignon, which became a mission company in 2023, and a subsidiary of German Goldbeck since 2019. He had been its general director since 1998. Roland Paul was the only candidate for the presidency of Medef 84 officially created last March and of which Jean-Louis Maurizi, president of Medef Sud, had been acting since then. The previous entity, UP-Medef, the employers' union of the Movement of Companies of France, had in fact been purely and simply deregistered last February. The number of members had collapsed, the animation had become non-existent, “it did not meet the conditions required to represent Medef”, explains the employers' union. Embodying this new lease of life, Roland Paul wants above all to “bring together the economic players of the department in order to defend all companies, whatever the typology or sector of activity”. “I have no other personal ambition than to serve the territory,” he assured on the evening of his election. To mark the importance of the event, Patrick Martin, the president of Medef, made the trip to Vaucluse, alongside Bruno Arcadipane, his vice-president and one of the founding members of this new Medef 84 which counts currently around a hundred members including Vaucluse flagships such as Grand Delta Habitat or Aroma Zone.
