About CENTURION SAS SASU

Serge Bitboul is a long-standing leader in the governance of GECI International, a French listed group focused on digital solutions, technology, and high-value-added services. Trained as an aeronautical engineer, he began his career in the Space Division of Aérospatiale in Cannes before founding GECI in 1980 and then GECI International in 1985. Since then, he has played the company’s key executive roles, including Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. His career has been closely tied to building and reshaping the group over several decades. Within the group, Bitboul has held numerous mandates across subsidiaries and operating entities, reflecting a central role in strategic oversight, resource allocation, and portfolio management. Corporate governance disclosures also show his involvement in related holding and property structures, as well as his broader economic commitment through XLP Holding and other vehicles. He is clearly a highly engaged controlling shareholder and a key anchor of continuity for the group’s ownership structure. Strategically, his recent leadership has been associated with GECI International’s repositioning toward more focused and growth-oriented businesses, notably High Performance Computing (HPC), numerical simulation, cybersecurity, telecoms, and Smart City solutions, with stronger operations in France and Brazil. The company’s financial communications emphasize this ongoing refocusing and its objective of improving resilience and growth. In parallel, Bitboul has strengthened his shareholding commitment and reaffirmed his support for the company’s development, underscoring a governance style based on long-term vision, strategic discipline, and the consolidation of growth drivers.
