Olivier Breittmayer is a leading figure in European cybersecurity and value-added technology distribution. He founded Exclusive Networks and helped build it into an international platform focused on cybersecurity, networking, and digital infrastructure solutions. The company’s reference documents state that he has more than 34 years of experience in fast-growing businesses, with deep expertise in business development, vendor ecosystem building, geographic expansion, and long-term value creation. At Exclusive Networks, Breittmayer served for many years as Chief Executive Officer before moving to a non-executive board role in September 2020. That transition marked an important governance milestone for the group while preserving his strategic involvement and shareholding presence. In December 2024, it was confirmed that he was part of the consortium with CD&R and Everest UK HoldCo that acquired 66.66% of the company’s share capital and voting rights, underscoring his continued centrality in the company’s ownership and strategic evolution. His career is closely tied to Exclusive Networks’ transformation into a global cybersecurity distributor. Under his leadership, the group expanded its vendor portfolio, entered new markets, and pursued acquisitions to strengthen its scale and capabilities, while reinforcing its position in network security and critical infrastructure protection. Sector and company sources portray him as an entrepreneurial executive who combined commercial vision, governance discipline, and a strong understanding of technology distribution dynamics.
