About Corine DE BILBAO VEILLAT

Corine de Bilbao Veillat holds a prominent governance role at Vallourec as an independent director, chair of the CSR Committee, and member of the Audit Committee. In this capacity, she contributes to board-level oversight of strategy, risk management, extra-financial performance, and the company’s long-term sustainability agenda. Vallourec’s governance materials identify her as an independent director with a mandate running through the 2028 shareholders’ meeting. Her career reflects deep industrial leadership and international operating experience. According to biographies published by Microsoft France, Vallourec, and academic event materials, she began her career at GE Medical Systems in 1989, where she worked in sourcing and service roles in medical imaging. She then held a series of senior positions within General Electric across the energy, oil & gas, and industrial sectors, with increasing international responsibility. Her roles included European sourcing leadership, upstream sales leadership, and broader commercial management across global business lines. From 2016 to 2019, she served as President of GE France, where she oversaw the integration of Alstom’s energy business following GE’s acquisition and supported the group’s digital transformation, including the creation of a European software center in Paris. She later led Segula Technologies International from 2019 to 2021, driving the company’s international expansion and innovation activities, before becoming President of Microsoft France in July 2021. This background gives her a profile that combines listed-company governance, industrial transformation, technology adoption, and large-scale organization leadership. At Vallourec, those strengths are particularly relevant in a context shaped by operational excellence, energy transition, decarbonization, and stakeholder expectations. As CSR Committee chair, she is well positioned to help ensure that sustainability priorities are integrated into board discussions, with a focus on responsible growth, long-term resilience, and value creation.
