Gérald Caussé

Caussé, who was born in Bordeaux, was raised as a Latter-day Saint: his parents joined the church when he was six months old, having recently moved to France from Algeria.

Prior to his call as a general authority, Caussé worked for a strategy consulting firm in Paris and London.

And finally, he was the general manager and a member of the board of Pomona, France's largest food distributor.

[2] For most of his four years as a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy Caussé served in the presidency of the church's Europe Area.

When Stevenson was called to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in October 2015, Caussé succeeded him as the church's Presiding Bishop.

This was followed in 2020 with the release of "Noël," a recording of piano Duo arrangements of popular Christmas hymns, again with Nicholas Giusti.
