who will be a tremendous addition to the team. Their experience and
leadership will be critical to accelerate Atos’ business cadence
and transformation pace and ultimately to orchestrate the rebound
of the Group.
Their joining us also demonstrates that our new
colleagues share my conviction that Atos has all assets at hand to
get back on track, and first and foremost its highly dedicated and
talented people around the world. The Group holds leading positions
in cyber security, high-performance computing, cloud and digital
