Christophe said: “As the new CEO of FPT France, I am committed to building upon FPT Software's established market footprint and reaching new heights in digital transformation for the company and our clients. My primary goal is to drive growth by harnessing our organization's collective strength and global reputation.”
Since entering France in 2008, FPT has affirmed its market position and expertise by partnering with world-leading clients, including Airbus, where the two companies have joined forces in various initiatives to support major aviation players in achieving digital transformation goals since 2017. In 2023, the French subsidiary entered France's top 100 ICT Companies. During the same year, the company also acquired 80% stake in the French IT consulting firm AOSIS, aiming to enhance its capabilities in SAP, Data, Cloud, and smart solutions for aerospace, aviation, and transportation sectors. FPT France plans to expand its presence to other major cities in France with an ambitious goal of covering the entire European region.
