Cyril Linette, the CEO of the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics organizing committee, has stepped down, according to an official announcement on Wednesday. The committee cited ‘irreconcilable differences’ between Linette and the committee’s chief, Edgar Grospiron.
The news follows the recent resignations of other key figures, including Anne Murac, director of operations, and Arthur Richer, communications director. The decision was discussed during an Executive Board meeting on February 22, 2026, in Milan, where stakeholders expressed a desire for renewed governance as the project reaches a critical phase.
Despite the internal challenges, Grospiron reassured that preparations for the Games continue unabated. He stressed that while the context is troubled, the operational progress and ultimate delivery of the event remain on track.
