With Atos’ new CEO, Philippe Salle, in place since February, we now await the Capital Markets Day on 14th May to hear his vision and mid-term strategy for the Group. There is every indication that a ‘One Atos’ approach will be part of that vision, with the Tech Foundations and Eviden businesses merged (Atos Group: A new chapter). Indeed, in the first four weeks of UK&I CEO Michael Herron’s tenure, he reunited the two parts of the business in the region, a move which he stated would allow for greater clarity in developing Atos’ Value Proposition and Go-To-Market strategy (see New Atos UK&I Lead: Michael Herron).

With all that in mind, onlookers might be interested by this morning’s announcement. Atos has appointed Pierre-Yves Jolivet, previously Vice-President and General Manager of the Cyber Digital Business Line at Thales, as Executive Vice President and Head of Eviden. According to the release, “Pierre-Yves will also serve as Head of Cybersecurity business, overseeing both cybersecurity and products strategy and portfolio.”
