Strelia names Gisèle Rosselle as new managing partner

She succeeds Olivier Clevenbergh, who has led the firm since its creation. Olivier will now be more client-focused again and will serve as chairman.

Gisèle brings a deep commitment to the values that have long defined the firm to this new role, extensive transactional experience, and sound judgment, the firm said in a statement.

“After more than 12 years, this is the right time to change the top of the management of Strelia, which has evolved from a start-up to a steady player in its markets,” Olivier Clevenbergh said. “I’m very pleased that Gisèle has accepted to take on this challenge. She has all the attributes to take us to the next level: she combines sharp vision, relentless drive with the ability to inspire others. With her on board, we continue to strengthen our commitment to excellence while fostering a culture that truly values people.”

For her part,  Gisèle said: “I am honored to accept this appointment. This is not a personal achievement, but a reflection of the collective strength of our partnership. Olivier’s remarkable legacy, inspiring leadership, and the trust he has placed in me are deeply appreciated. I am also truly thankful to all our partners for their unwavering support and confidence - it means a great deal. We have reached milestones that serve as markers of our progress, steady growth, and excellence in everything we do. As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: solving our clients’ most important problems”.
