About

Je suis le Président d’un des plus beaux fleurons de l’industrie automobile, une entreprise qui accompagne des millions de Français dans leur mobilité. J’ai passé plus de 30 ans dans cette belle entreprise. Je suis engagé dans la création d'un milieu de travail respectueux et inclusif- où tout le monde est valorisé et où le succès est déterminé par le mérite. J'utilise LinkedIn pour discuter de certains des problèmes, enjeux et opportunités qui me tiennent à cœur : l'avenir de la mobilité, l'inclusion, les responsabilités sociales et environnementales d’un groupe aussi grand que le nôtre et surtout des femmes et des hommes qui font du BMW Group l’entreprise qu’elle est aujourd’hui. C'est aussi un endroit où vous pourrez échanger avec moi. Faites-moi part de vos pensées et réactions, je suis convaincu que c’est dans l’échange et le dialogue que l’on relève les plus grands défis.
