the Group’s Executive Committee
Since April 2010, the Group’s Executive CommitteeGroup’s Executive Committee reorganisation serves three objectives:
- To implement the new business plan currently being developed and, from today, to ensure the Group’s organisation reflects certain action priorities, including the creation of a Quality function at the highest level of the Group, and the strengthening the Human Resources function;
- To simplify the Group’s organisational structure and, in particular, to facilitate interactions between the Group’s operations in its various countries and the Group’s central functions. Two examples include the integration of International functions within the Group and the creation of a Group Marketing function, uniting numerous units that until now have operated separately
- To reinvigorate the company by promoting internal talent, such as Thierry Bonhomme, Jean-Paul Cottet and Delphine Ernotte, and by welcoming new outside talent recognised for their skill and experience, such as Christine Albanel, Pierre Louette and Bruno Mettling.
