Victor de Couëssin

 
 

Victor focuses on Executive and Non-Executive Director searches for publicly listed and privately owned international companies.

As well as General Management and CEO Succession Plan assignments, he leads profiles in high demand and low supply, such as Chief Information Officers, Chief Information Security Officers and Chief Data Officers.

He has in-depth knowledge of industrial worlds (automotive, aerospace, chemical, industrial services) as well as the mobility and leisure & hospitality environments.

He also frequently leads Executive Search assignments in industrial mid-size companies backed by Private Equity firms or family offices.

He has a genuine interest for technology related matters and how they strongly impact business models, operating models, the definition of functions and company strategies.  He remains cautious concerning the fixation on the digital revolution and how operational matters tend to disappear behind an exclusively data-oriented and technology-focused communication.

Victor is a member of Réseau Entreprendre Paris.
