About DIDIER CASAS

Didier Casas is a well-known executive in French listed-company governance, and his most notable role at Bouygues is Group General Counsel, a position he has held since 10 October 2022. In this role, he oversees the group’s legal affairs, board secretariat, market-regulator relations, compliance and ethics matters, and public affairs. His remit places him at the heart of coordination between the executive team, the group’s business divisions, and the regulatory obligations of a listed company. A graduate of the Institut d’Études Politiques de Grenoble, holder of a postgraduate law degree, and an ENA alumnus, Casas began his career in France’s senior public administration. He first worked as a parliamentary assistant before joining the Conseil d’État, where he served as an auditor, then as a maître des requêtes, and later as a government commissioner. This background gave him deep expertise in public law, administrative litigation, and institutional relations—skills especially valuable in regulated industries. He joined Dexia Crédit Local in 2008 as General Secretary, then entered the Bouygues group in 2011 as General Counsel of Bouygues Telecom, where he was responsible for public affairs, regulatory matters and communications. In 2016, he was promoted to Executive Vice-President at Bouygues Telecom, with added responsibility for human resources and purchasing. From 2020 to 2022, he served as General Counsel at TF1, handling institutional relations, legal and regulatory affairs, as well as compliance and ethics. This progression shows a career built at the intersection of law, public affairs and executive management. Over time, Casas has developed strong sector expertise in telecommunications and media, particularly in areas such as regulation, stakeholder engagement, crisis communication and organizational transformation. Within Bouygues, his career reflects steady progression and a trusted ability to manage sensitive governance issues, support strategic decision-making and navigate complex stakeholder environments.
