Always passionate about new technologies, Alexandre very quickly chose to specialize in this domain. Once he had obtained his engineering degree in Computer Sciences, he joined the Capgemini group to become Developer, Google Apps Project Manager and then Cloud Integration Architect. He joined Veolia as Leader of the Software Development Center in 2016.
Alexandre discovered a group that enabled him to combine his passion with his environmental conscience. Motivated, committed and loyal to Veolia, he was promoted incredibly fast, becoming Deputy CTO and Head of Digital Factory in less than five years.
His mission today is to help demystify the IT world for us!
Keen on environmental issues from childhood, Lisa discovered garbology during her further studies. It was a revelation for her! She decided to specialize in this field. With an initial experience in charge of the weighbridge and planning as part of a professional degree in “Waste management and treatment”, she joined Veolia in 2016 as an operational assistant. Lisa quickly obtained her engineering diploma in the form of a Management and Engineering for Environmental Services master’s designed by Veolia in partnership with a consortium of three institutions: the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, the University of Cergy-Pontoise and the University of Paris-Est Marne-la-Vallée.
Veolia trusted her and ensured that her skills developed every day: committed to her work, Lisa became the operational manager of a non-hazardous waste collection sorting center in 2018, aged just 24. She is proud to work for the leader in the field.
Her mission is to reach her objectives embarking all the members of her team!
Specialized in project management, Xavier was recruited by SARP IDF to take part in the Group’s innovation strategy: SARP 20-20!
His mission was to help SARP enter the era of digitization (dematerialization of project documents, geolocation of vehicles, implementation of PDAs for operators, etc.). As a result of his success, he was given the opportunity to leave the support service to join an operational department. On the one hand, Xavier shared his expertise, and on the other hand, the company opened up a whole new fascinating universe to him: wastewater services!
His interest in this business line was strengthened when he took on an “on-site” position as manager of an agency. Xavier therefore became involved in operations, the heart of the SARP business line. He is now manager of the largest televised inspection agency of SARP and organizes employees and projects focused on the Grand Paris program.
His role is to manage teams in order to meet his objectives.
After graduating as a general engineer and spending a semester abroad to take classes in water management, Lucie became specialized in this field after conducting several missions for the Veolia Group. She first joined Veolia Research and Innovation as part of her end-of-studies internship, and then stayed within the Group, moving to the VEDIF research teams.
During her missions, Lucie discovered the operations universe: after four years of working as a Study and Project engineer, she joined the teams at the Choisy-le-Roi factory, becoming Process Manager.
Her mission is to guarantee the continued quality of treated water.
