Séverine Mulliez and Séverine Tapié-Mulliez are cousins and members of the Mulliez family - one of the largest French business families known for their entrepreneurial spirit and culture.

The family controls the sportswear retail brand Decathlon, hypermarket chain Auchan and Leroy Merlin, a home improvement and gardening retail brand – to name just a few of the companies that you may have heard about.

Séverine and Séverine play active roles in the family holding company representing more than 1600 descendants.

Founded in the north of France in 1903 as a small business in textile manufacturing, Mulliez successfully developed its business into many industries and sectors.

Today, the activities span more than 150 companies and brands, employing around 615,000 people worldwide. All are organized in Association Familiale Mulliez (AFM), the holding company of the family.

Mulliez has a rich, fascinating history and heritage, and it is one of Europe’s legacy business families.
