October 1st has decided to establish a separate governance

Directors. Laurent Carme’s mandate will be effective on November 4,
2019.
Pascal Mauberger headed the company as Chairman
of the Management Board and then Chief Executive Officer for the
last 11 years. With a team from the CNRS scientific research
center, he founded McPhy in 2008 and made it one of the French and
European hydrogen sector’s flagship startups. Pascal Mauberger
then led the transformation of McPhy, which in ten years, has
positioned itself among the leaders in France and Europe in
decarbonated hydrogen. The Board of Directors warmly thanks Pascal
Mauberger for this remarkable entrepreneurial achievement, for the
work accomplished at the head of McPhy’s teams and for his
commitment during this founding decade.
Laurent Carme, 43, began his career as a
consultant at Estin & Co before joining L.E.K. Consulting,
where he carried out numerous growth strategy and industrial
strategy missions in the energy and transport sectors.
In 2009, he joined Alstom Renewables, where he
headed the Business Development division in Paris. Laurent Carme
was then appointed, in Barcelona, Vice President Wind Onshore
Platform and then Vice President Wind Engineering and Strategic
Sourcing. During his time in Spain, he contributed his expertise to
onshore and offshore product lines, and notably the development of
products and cost-cutting projects.
In 2015, Laurent Carme joined GE Renewable
Energy as President of GE Hydro France and Head of the Grenoble
site (800 employees), in charge of global R&D, engineering,
project management and production activities for the Hydroelectric

Transformers division at GE Grid Solutions ($700 million / 2,700
staff worldwide). He graduated from École Polytechnique and École
Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées.
This appointment comes in a dynamic commercial
context for the company, which received an order for a 1 MW
electrolyzer from Hynamics (EDF) in September as part of the
Commercial Industrial and R&D partnership signed in 2018. This
new order brings to over €10 million the number of orders booked
between January 1st and the end of September 2019.
Pascal Mauberger, Chairman of
McPhy’s Board of Directors, states: “It is with confidence
and much pleasure that I am handing over the position of CEO to
Laurent Carme. With his substantial experience in renewable
energies, both in wind and hydroelectric power in France and
abroad, Laurent Carme is an experienced and acknowledged
leader who will steer McPhy through another decisive phase in its
development, characterized by an acceleration in the international
roll-out of its activities and the achievement of financial break
even.”
Laurent Carme, Chief Executive Officer
of McPhy, states: “I warmly thank the Board of Directors
and Pascal Mauberger for the trust they have placed in me through
this appointment. By joining McPhy, I am glad to pursue a 10-year
commitment to the energy transition. The growth potential of both
