scope changes, a director-general delegate to the head of human resources, a new director of innovation, a new boss for Europe, three starts, including a retired… the executive committee of Orange, announced and effective on 1 September, will no longer have quite the same flavor. Stéphane Richard, the CEO of the group, has taken advantage of the departures to reshuffle the cards and make some adjustments. “The global health crisis, which rapidly gives way to a major economic crisis, has shown the solidity of the group”, he said. More than ever, operators will have to demonstrate responsiveness, if they don’t want to be reduced to the rand of mere “suppliers of pipes”, while the value-added services will be the major platforms, such as Amazon, Google, Netflix, Microsoft or Apple.

Ramon Fernandez, director general delegate, will be director of Finance, Performance and Development. For his part, Gervais Pellissier, deputy chief executive officer, will become director of human resources and the transformation of the group. The current human resources manager, Valerie Baker, left Orange, after four years spent in the company of which slightly more than two to the HR director. A quick passage in this key position for the group.

A key position while the operator is facing major challenges: IA, the data, the 5G…. It is also considered a close relative of Stéphane Richard. He will be succeeded by Mari-Noëlle Jégo-Laveissière. The latter will be responsible for overseeing the operational activities of Orange in Europe (excluding France) face the challenges of the deployment of the 5G and Fibre.

parity is conserved in the executive committee. Béatrice Mandine will be executive Director of Communication, Brand and Engagement. Elizabeth Tchoungui will be executive director of CSR, Diversity and Solidarity of the Group. It will supervise, in particular the policy of Social Responsibility of Orange in the framework of the objectives of the Strategic plan Engage2025. She will also chair a delegate of the Orange Foundation. Christine Albanel leaves the company after ten years of service to retire.
