About Hinda Gharbi

Hinda Gharbi is the Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas, the French-listed global leader in testing, inspection and certification. She was appointed CEO in June 2023 after joining the Group in May 2022 as Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Executive Committee. Her appointment followed a structured succession process and she succeeded Didier Michaud-Daniel at the helm of the company. Bureau Veritas highlighted her international experience, leadership profile, and strong fit with the Group’s culture. Before Bureau Veritas, Gharbi built a long career at Schlumberger, where she held a series of senior roles across geographies and functions. She progressed through operational, regional, and global leadership positions and ultimately served as Executive Vice President, Services & Equipment. That background gave her deep exposure to large-scale industrial operations, field environments, and technology-driven businesses, as well as experience leading diverse teams in highly demanding international settings. At Bureau Veritas, her leadership is closely associated with growth, operational excellence, digitization, and sustainable performance. The company’s strategy emphasizes helping clients navigate quality, safety, health, environmental, and social responsibility challenges, while promoting a “Business to Business to Society” approach. During her tenure, the governance framework was also strengthened, including the creation of a CSR committee at board level. Professionally, Gharbi is recognized for her industrial mindset, customer focus, and transformation-oriented leadership. Her background in energy services and technical operations is especially valuable for Bureau Veritas, where compliance, trust, digital tools, and sustainability have become central to competitive differentiation. She is therefore positioned as an executive capable of combining operational rigor with strategic change management in a globally diversified business.
