💶 '''Executive compensation.''' Daloz’s promotion to CEO placed him among the highest-paid executives on France’s CAC 40 index. Press reports indicate that his total remuneration for 2024, his first full year as chief executive, was approximately €15.5 million, making him one of the top three earners among index constituents.<ref name="latribune2025">{{cite web |url=https://www.latribune.fr/article/economie/15450130878949/remuneration-des-patrons-du-cac-40-les-inegalites-se-creusent |title=Rémunération des patrons du CAC 40 : les inégalités se creusent |publisher=La Tribune |date=November 2025-11 |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> The package combined fixed salary, annual bonus and long-term equity incentives, reflecting the company’s practice of heavily weighting compensation toward performance shares.<ref name="latribune2025" />
 
📈 '''Structure of pay and comparison with predecessor.''' A significant portion of Daloz’s 2024 compensation—around €13.5 million—consisted of performance share grants whose value depends on future share-price and earnings trajectories.<ref name="challenges2025">{{cite web |url=https://www.challenges.fr/entreprise/remunerations-des-patrons-bonus-en-baisse-mais-explosion-des-tres-hauts-salaires-avec-35-dirigeants-du-sbf120-au-dela-de-5-millions-par-an_631180 |title=Rémunérations des patrons : bonus en baisse mais explosion des très hauts salaires |publisher=Challenges |date=November 2025-11 |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> Commentators have noted that, although substantial, his awards remain markedly below those historically granted to his predecessor Bernard Charlès, whose exceptional long-term incentive plans led to annual pay packets approaching €50 million in some years, and have interpreted this as a sign that shareholders and the board wish to test the new CEO’s performance before granting similarly large packages.<ref name="latribune2025" /><ref name="challenges2025" />
 
💼 '''Equity stake and wealth.''' After more than two decades at Dassault Systèmes, Daloz has built a personal shareholding in the company estimated at around 0.27–0.3% of the outstanding capital, acquired through stock options and employee share plans.<ref name="dsfrwiki">{{cite web |url=https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassault_Syst%C3%A8mes |title=Dassault Systèmes |publisher=Wikipédia |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> At market valuations in the mid-2020s, this stake corresponds to tens of millions of euros, placing him among the wealthier professional managers in the French technology sector, though still well below the fortunes of controlling shareholders and founders.<ref name="dsfrwiki" /><ref name="tradingmcap" />
