PRESS RELEASE
Neuilly-sur-Seine, France – December 8, 2023
Bureau Veritas reshapes and
strengthens its Executive Committee to
support its future growth ambitions
Bureau
Veritas, a world leader in
testing, inspection and
certification (TIC)
services,
announces the reshaping
and strengthening of its Executive Committee. Designed to align the
organization with its strategic imperatives, this evolution will
allow Bureau Veritas to be ideally positioned to seize
key future growth
opportunities.
First, the Group aims to leverage the full
potential of growing market opportunities specific to each region,
and to facilitate scaling of solutions and improved resources
utilization. Therefore, to further accelerate its growth and
exploit the full potential of the current geographical cluster
bundling Asia Pacific and the Middle East, Bureau Veritas has
decided to split this geography into two new regions for the
Commodities, Industries & Facilities (CIF) division, i.e.
Middle East, Caspian & Africa on the one hand and Asia Pacific
(including China and India) on the other hand.
,Second, reflecting Bureau Veritas’ ambition to
embed sustainability at the very heart of its activities and to
accelerate the development and execution of its strategy, a newly
created role of Executive Vice-President, Corporate Development
& Sustainability will ensure consistency in the Group’s efforts
and increase strategic focus.
Finally, the newly created position of Chief
Digital Officer (CDO) is designed to drive innovation through broad
digital enablement to capture increased efficiency and productivity
in its internal operations, and to develop new solutions and
provide differentiated customer experience for the Group’s
clients.
To lead the different roles, Bureau
Veritas is pleased to announce the following appointments effective
January 1st, 2024:
Juliano Cardoso is appointed Executive
Vice-President, Corporate Development &
Sustainability
In this newly created role, Juliano will
capitalize on his in-depth knowledge of the Group acquired over his
past 28 years of diverse and increased managerial responsibilities,
both geographically and functionally. This position is key for the
development and execution of Bureau Veritas’ strategy and Juliano’s
mandate is to ensure that the Group takes its mission of being
“sustainable at core” to the next level, both in its operations and
its business offerings.
Surachet Tanwongsval is appointed
Executive Vice-President Commodities, Industries & Facilities,
Asia Pacific
Surachet will oversee the growth of the Asia
Pacific region for the CIF division. This region is one of Bureau
Veritas’ largest regions and key for the continued success of the
Group. Surachet’s mission is to expand growth opportunities in the
different markets and to foster innovation and drive operational
integrity and performance.
Philipp Karmires is appointed Executive
Vice-President and Group Chief Digital Officer
This newly created role, aimed at scaling Bureau
Veritas’ digital capabilities, is of the essence to develop a
digital-first culture and to support the Group’s future growth
trajectory by becoming a digitally enabled enterprise at the
forefront of innovation, both to accompany its clients as they
navigate their business imperatives and to accelerate its own
digital transformation to extract efficiencies and enhance
performance.
Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer of
Bureau Veritas, commented:
“I am delighted to welcome Surachet Tanwongsval
and Philipp Karmires to the Group Executive Committee. Their
expertise, proven track record and business acumen in their
respective fields of competence will be a strong asset to support
our future ambitions and I am confident that, all together, we will
take Bureau Veritas to the next level.
I would also like to thank Juliano Cardoso for
his exceptional leadership of the current Asia Pacific and Middle
East Region over the last six years. I look forward to continuing
to work with Juliano in his new strategic role as Executive
Vice-President in charge of Corporate Development &
Sustainability.”
