French IT firm Atos has announced the appointment of Yves Bernaert as its new chief executive officer, effective immediately. Bernaert brings with him a wealth of experience, having served as the CEO Europe for Accenture Technology for the past nine years.
This news comes after the departure of Rodolphe Belmer, Atos’ previous CEO, who left the company after only a short six-month tenure. In July 2022, Nourdine Bihmane was appointed as the new CEO, but he will now transition to the role of deputy CEO, as well as maintaining his responsibilities as co-CEO of the group’s Tech Foundations business.
Philippe Oliva, who joined Atos in June 2022 as deputy CEO in charge of the Digital/BDS perimeter to form the newly named SpinCo (Evidian), has decided to leave the company.
Atos, a leading IT firm in France, provides a range of services including consulting, managed services, systems integration, and cloud and digital services. The company has a strong global presence and serves clients across various industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services.
The appointment of Yves Bernaert as the new CEO is seen as a strategic move for Atos, as the company aims to further strengthen its position in the IT market and drive growth. Bernaert’s extensive experience in the industry, particularly in technology consulting, is expected to bring valuable insights and leadership to the company.
Atos has been actively expanding its offerings and capabilities in recent years, with a focus on digital transformation and innovation. The company has made several strategic acquisitions and partnerships to enhance its portfolio and address the evolving needs of its clients.
The new CEO appointment reflects Atos’ commitment to driving innovation and delivering value to its clients. Bernaert’s leadership and vision will be instrumental in shaping the company’s future direction and ensuring its continued success in the highly competitive IT industry.
With this announcement, Atos demonstrates its determination to maintain its position as a leading player in the IT market, and its commitment to delivering the highest level of service and value to its clients.
