Atos Group has appointed Pierre-Yves Jolivet as executive vice president and head of Eviden, the company's HPC business.
Revealed by the company earlier this month, Jolivet enters the role coming from aerospace and defense company Thales where he was most recently VP and GM of the cyber digital business line.
Prior to his time at Thales, Jolivet spent 13 years at Boston Consulting Group, heading the tech and telecoms unit in France.
In a LinkedIn post, Jolivet wrote: "Dear friends - It is my pleasure to share with you that I joined Atos Eviden Group Leadership Team yesterday as executive vice president Eviden and Cyber businesses. I feel honored to have the opportunity to lead such an activity that has both so much history and potential with the talented teams we have.
"The last 8 years [at] Thales have been an incredible journey of development for the company and myself as a leader."
Philippe Salle, chairman and CEO of Atos Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Pierre-Yves as the new Head of Eviden and of our Cyber business.
"His broad experience and deep knowledge of the industry makes him a great addition to our leadership team. I am looking forward to working with him to drive profitable growth in both areas and make a decisive contribution to Atos future successes.”
Salle himself is a new addition to Atos, having taken the role of CEO and chairman in October 2024.
Earlier this month, the Serbian government signed a €50 million ($55m) contract with Eviden for a new supercomputer in the country.
