I have been for many years a fanatic follower of David – and his inseparable twin-brother Jean-François – in their passion for opening the eyes, the minds and the souls of all promising Thales talents poised to access executive leadership positions. I first met David in a session when I joined Thales, then sponsored and accompanied many of his learning expeditions throughout the world in my position as EVP, Group Strategy, and we eventually cooperated very closely in creating new sessions dedicated to European countries. And how blessed are those who will feel sparkles and get true inspiration through your passionate flame for the future!
