Bio
Axel is an extremely talented individual with excellent analytical skills, hardworking and knowledgeable, motivated and forward looking. These qualities have been amply demonstrated by his many achievements: -In 2010 and 2011 I was the CFO of an Engineering services provider, Segula Technologies, and Axel worked with me as head of merger and acquisition. His objectives in term of restructuring and corporate development were fully met. He sold some of the non-strategic assets of the company with a significant and positive impact and the group’s return. He also implemented several acquisitions enabling the company to broaden its scope of expertise thus meeting the needs of some of its major customers. Axel was also of great support in improving bank relations in an uneasy environment and produced a number of innovative economic and financial presentations for internal and external purposes. -In 2012 he joined Atos, a Paris listed company, present worldwide and a leader in digital services. Axel played a key role or spearheaded some of the most important acquisition made by Atos such as the recent takeover on the Bull group and the purchase of the Xerox IT sector. Three words to summarize my view on Axel : Smart, Reliable, Efficient.
I had the chance to work with Axel on several M & A operations and I have always appreciated his efficiency, professionalism and a solid understanding of business issues. Olivier Dutour Adlink Partners Law firm
