Stéphane Richard will also continue in his role as Head of Operations in France. Didier Lombard will, in his role as Chairman of the Board of France Telecom, notably be focused on Group’s strategic and technological orientations.


this 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 and by welcoming new outside talent recognised for their skill and experience.
