Gaz De
France Names Senior Managers For GDF Suez
06-30-2008
Gaz de France and SUEZ announce
the names of the senior managers from both groups who will be appointed to
oversee the creation of the business units and operational functions of GDF
SUEZ.
In October 2006, Gérard Mestrallet, Chairman and CEO of SUEZ, and Jean-François
Cirelli, Chairman and CEO of Gaz de France, announced plans for the
organizational structure of the new group.
These new organizational plans, designed to be both efficient and dynamic and
dedicated to the success of an ambitious industrial project, were confirmed in
September 2007.
Four Executive Vice-Presidents – Messrs Yves Colliou, Jean-Marie Dauger,
Jean-Pierre Hansen and Gérard Lamarche alongside Gérard Mestrallet and
Jean-François Cirelli - will comprise the general management committee.
The group’s organization is based on business units and operational functions.
Each business unit and operational function manager will be responsible for
submitting an organizational structure best suited to achieving their
objectives.
A selection and appointment process has been set up by the two groups to ensure
that the essential criterion used in this process is, above all, that of the
professional competence of the candidates while respecting a broad balance in
the choice between SUEZ and Gaz de France employees and proceeding with complete
transparency.
An appointments committee was set up, comprised of Gérard Mestrallet,
Jean-François Cirelli, Yves Colliou, Jean-Marie Dauger, Jean-Pierre Hansen, and
Gérard Lamarche, with representatives from the human resources departments of
both groups.
At the end of this process, the 158 managers reporting directly to the directors
of the five energy business units and the 14 operational functions were
appointed. These managers include 75 employees from entities belonging to Gaz de
France and 83 employees from entities belonging to SUEZ. For certain
departments, the employees reporting to the respective departmental heads in the
organization chart have also been appointed.
Immediately after the merger, these organizational plans will be subject to the
procedures laid down by the different legal texts related to the information and
consultation process of the employees’ representative bodies.
