“To stay at the top of our field, we need to continue to invest in skill- building and be at the cutting edge of technology.” Finally, a personal question: why are you so attached to the SYSTRA brand? SYSTRA is the company of my life. It has given me opportunities at every stage of my career, and supported me through difficult times. I stayed by choice. Apart from that, I’m an engineer, I love technology and I’m still passionate about projects. I also appreciate the spirit that drives the SYSTRA teams. We’re building the Grand Paris metro network, but we’re also helping to open up villages in Africa, and when we see that a small bridge can change the lives of communities by enabling children to go to school and thousands of people to go to work and receive medical care, we feel useful, and that’s something we can be proud of. Transporting the world can transform it. (1) SYSTRA is in first place in Capital magazine’s ranking of the best French employers in the Engineering & Control category. | 11
