"A publication less kind than The Reg might couch Atos's latest leadership intake as the recruitment of more expensive execs coming armed with buckets to bail water from a sinking vessel. Four more joined the top table this week to assist the multi-year turnaround of the listing tech tanker, which has appointed seven chief executives in just three years."
"Florin Rotar, formerly an exec at professional services and consulting biz Avanade - a joint venture between Microsoft and Accenture - has arrived at Atos as Group Chief Technology Officer. With confidence, Atos said of Rotar: "In his new role as Group CTO, he will capitalize on his two decades of experience scaling AI & emerging technologies, his global perspective and industry influence to support the Group's ambition to become a global AI-powered technology partner of choice delivering secure end-to-end digital journeys.""
"Rocking up as executive veep for strategy and operational excellence is Laurent Soulier, who started his career in the cybersecurity department of France's Ministry of Defence before switching to the Ministry of Industry "where he led the transposition into French law of European directives regulating the internet and postal sectors." He then ran "transformation programs and M&A strategies" at Adecco and Foncia. Camille Le Provost has joined to run M&A at Atos. She previously worked at BNP Paribas, Rabobank, and oversaw M&A at health and beauty biz Anjac Group for several years. Pénélope de Fouquières has been put in charge of the communications department."
Atos added four senior executives to its leadership team to support a multi-year turnaround after rapid CEO turnover. The company positions itself as a leading provider of AI-powered digital transformation and says it has hand-picked seasoned leaders to drive a fast-moving transformation plan aimed at restoring sustainable profitable growth, improving performance, and creating long-term stakeholder value. Florin Rotar joins as Group CTO with two decades of experience scaling AI and emerging technologies. Laurent Soulier will lead strategy and operational excellence, Camille Le Provost will run M&A, and Pénélope de Fouquières will head communications.
