In November 2021, Stéphane Lefebvre stepped in for Daniel Lamarre as CEO and president of Cirque du Soleil. Today [April 1], the company announced Lefebvre has left his post, with Lamarre stepping back in.

One of the Cirque do Soleil Entertainment Group’s top-ranking executives, Lefebvre has “accepted a new mandate to evaluate new international value-creation initiatives across the Group’s portfolio,” company reps said in a statement. That means Lefebvre is done with day-to-day operations.

Lamarre joined the company in January 2001. His return to his former CEO/president post is to “support this leadership transition.” The exec was in town this month celebrating One Night for One Drop at Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand.
