Job From Emeria - CEO
Job To Atos - CEO
Atos has hired its seventh chief executive in three years, announcing that Philippe Salle will take over as its chairman and, from February 2025, its CEO.
He replaces Jean-Pierre Mustier in the role, who himself has only served as CEO since July after joining Atos as its Chairman in October 2023.
Mustier took over as CEO from Paul Saleh – CEO since January 2024 and who replaced Yves Bernaert, Nourdine Bihmane, Philippe Oliva and Diane Galbe. Mustier will act as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until January 31, 2025, and remain a member of the Board of Directors, ensuring an orderly, constructive and effective transition. In particular, he will be responsible for monitoring and ensuring the proper implementation of the accelerated safeguard plan, which is essential for the Group.
With extensive experience as CEO, notably in listed companies, Salle will bring invaluable skills and insights to support the deployment of the business plan and the restructuring of the Group. His most recent role was as CEO of Emeria and also previously served as CEO of Altran Group – which later became Capgemini. He has also served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Viridien (formerly CGG) since 2018, and as a member of the Board of Directors of Banque Transatlantique since 2010.
Jean-Pierre Mustier, Chief Executive Officer of Atos, said: “I am delighted to welcome Philippe Salle to the Board. Philippe Salle is a highly experienced executive whose qualities and expertise in leading blue-chip companies will be a crucial asset as Atos looks to the future. He has also an extensive track record in creating shareholders value. We will work closely together to ensure a smooth transition and the effective deployment of the Group’s business and restructuring plan, in the interests of all stakeholders.”
Philippe Salle, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Atos, said: “It is with great enthusiasm and conviction that I join the Atos Group. I am aware of the challenges that lie ahead, but also of the Group’s strengths, from the quality of its services to the ongoing commitment of its employees, which will enable us, together, to open a new chapter in the Group’s history.
