PARIS -- Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification services (TIC) is accelerating the execution of its LEAP | 28 strategy to reach its vision of being the preferred partner for its customers’ excellence and sustainability. Taking LEAP | 28 to the next level, Bureau Veritas is evolving the structure of its executive committee to drive greater organizational alignment, strengthening its geographical platform with scalable Product Line structures, and optimizing its operations to enhance agility and effectiveness.
The current six operating geographical Regions will be reorganized into four greater Regions: Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East Caspian & Africa. The Product lines will be managed under three executive committee members who will lead: Industrials and Commodities, Urbanization and Assurance, and Consumer Products Services. These groupings at the executive committee level are aligned with customer workflows and market needs.

Considering the company ambition to scale performance programs across all the Regions and Product lines, a Chief Performance Officer and Executive Committee member role will be dedicated to lead the LEAP I 28 performance pillar and the overall optimization of key performance functions of operational excellence & performance, and sales & marketing. This role will drive the design, governance, and overall implementation and monitoring of these programs in coordination with other stakeholders across the organization.

All other Business and Support Functions will remain under their current leaders.

Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas comments: “By directly connecting Product Lines to a simplified regional structure, we are strengthening our regional expertise and building deeper relations with our customers. This organization will also allow us to create more agility as we accelerate the execution of our LEAP | 28 strategy.

This new organization will leverage scale, benefit from a well-defined structure, thus speeding up decision making, performance impact, and innovation. I fully trust our Bureau Veritas Executive team to mobilize the entire organization to achieve our vision and deliver on our ambition.”
