Eiffel Tower CEO Patrick Branco Ruivo to step down after female staff replaced during Hindu group visit
Patrick Branco Ruivo, CEO of the Eiffel Tower operating company SETE since 2018, will leave his position at the end of 2026 after an internal investigation found operational flaws led to female staff being replaced by male colleagues during a September 5 visit by the BAPS Hindu religious group. The group had requested limited interactions with women, conditions SETE said should not have been accepted. The incident triggered a staff strike, tower closure, and political condemnation across France.
