In total eleven years exciting far from Paris

But what is it that makes hold Marc Diouane When he is not on the line of departure for a marathon, it is found on a football field, a green in a room of squash or golf. But, more often, it is after the aircraft he runs. Or meeting by meeting. Even in one of the best tables in Paris, he does not sit long. Immediately after drinking coffee, he asked his hosts to be excused and to Eclipse.

Marc Diouane, it is pressed TPC man, the US group which recently launched in the conquest of a growing market: the PLM, or "Product Lifecycle Management." Continuation and extension of the good old CAO, the PLM allows as well to assemble of Airbus, to design Bank documents or manuals for maintenance of cars, put on line the "Official Journal", to ensure the conformity of a product with the Reach directive... Of the countless applications estimated total in a small 30 billion dollars, and performance to the company is, with Dassault Systèmes and Siemens, one of the spearheads global. Was 41 years old, the native of Périgueux has managed to carve a beautiful place in this multinational still unknown. "Senior divisional under its Europe & Asia", a title a little convoluted to say that it is the Ambassador of the Group

"I know the business of our customers."

This as ambitious as effective leader arrived in the group by the back door - simple business based in Strasbourg - in 1994, after having started behind a drawing board in his licence in industrial computing and automation. "I know the business of our customers." "The speech that I them today is all the more credible", he said. It is on the campus of Ecole supérieure commercial engineers in computer science (ESICI, group ESC Bordeaux), where he completed his training after a first experience in teaching as master auxiliary to the Ecole Notre-Dame de Ribérac, the future "ViPi" was heard for the first time of TPC. Very quickly, he realizes that the management at the American is what it is: executives judged on results than on their CV, responsibilities very early offered to young people who are not cold with eyes and who "want"...

Marc Diouane wants. He climbs the ranks. Four to four. Flies to 31 years for the Japan, where we entrusted the keys of the House - "the most interesting experience of my career". Then, from there won Milan for there reconfigure the subsidiary from the perspective of the rise of the PLM, before crossing the Atlantic and integrate teams of the headquarters in Needham (Massachusetts), closer to the power. In total, eleven years exciting far from Paris. And a train of hell who has probably cost his first marriage.

Father since a few weeks of a third girl, Marc Diouane it is not "fatass" with age. One foot in Paris and the other in London, he passes yet two-thirds of his time away from the "sweet home". And cash without too many difficulties the hourly offsets: "as soon as I ride in a plane, I me am local time", he said. A Faculty of adaptation that should carry it even further.
