Digital technology leader with over 35 years’ industry experience. Previously CEO at Gemalto, I have led the Cybersecurity and Digital Identity business at Thales since its acquisition in 2019. I believe agility, curiosity, and teamwork are key to success - especially in a fast-moving technology landscape. Agility enables resilience and responsiveness to changing customer needs. Curiosity drives deeper understanding and openness to new ideas. Teamwork matters because success is collective; when people perform, the company performs. At Thales, we build trusted solutions that make digital interactions safer. We authenticate people and things, protect data, and continuously innovate to make security seamless and convenient. Thales is a global leader in digital security, bringing trust to an increasingly connected world. We design and deliver products, software, and services that support rapid digital transformation - adapting to evolving risks, regulatory change, and demand for seamless user experiences. Our technology underpins modern life, spanning mobile communications, financial services, automotive, IT & software, healthcare, and consumer electronics.
