Pierre Blayau
Pierre Blayau is a French business executive. From 2001 to 2013 he was the president of GEODIS Logistics Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of SNCF.
Originally from Rennes, Brittany, he is an alumnus of the École normale supérieure of Saint-Cloud, Sciences Po and the École nationale d'administration, finishing his studies in 1978.
Blayau worked extensively in French football, first with AS Nancy and later his hometown team Stade Rennais F.C., for whom he was president from 1998 to 2000. He was also treasurer of the Ligue de Football Professionnel from 2003 to 2005, and part of the organising group for the 1998 FIFA World Cup in the country. On 2 May 2005 he was named president of Paris Saint-Germain F.C. by owners Canal+, in place of Francis Graille. He lasted just under a year in the job, as the sale of the club to Colony Capital led to his replacement by Alain Cayzac.
