"It is with great emotion and profound sadness that the Iliad Group announces the sudden death yesterday evening of Nicolas Jaeger," the unlisted company's statement said.
Iliad, which has operations in France, Italy and Poland, did not disclose the cause of death.
Jaeger joined the telecoms company in 2007 as head of investor relations, became finance chief in 2018 and was also appointed as deputy CEO in 2021.
