I joined Vallourec in 2022 as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Before that, I was CEO at Elior Group, one of the world’s leading operators in contract catering and support services with strong positions in 5 countries, from 2017 to 2022. I carried out in-depth work to put the Group on a sound financial footing, to provide it with a value-creating strategy and to build a robust organization, which proved decisive in the face of the context made extremely difficult by the Covid crisis. From 2013 to 2016, I was Chief Operating Officer at Alcatel-Lucent, where I drew up a business recovery and transformation plan and subsequently oversaw Alcatel-Lucent’s integration into Nokia. Prior to this, I was CEO and a Board member of Europcar (2010-2012), I served as Chairman and CEO of Areva Transmission and Distribution (2004-2010), I was a member of the Executive Committees at the automotive suppliers Faurecia (recently renamed Forvia, 2001-2003) and Valeo (1998-2000), and I held various positions at Michelin (1983-1989 and 1993-1998) and became member of the Executive Committee in 1996. I am graduate of the French engineering school, École des Mines de Nancy, and hold an MBA from Harvard Business School.
