About Jacques-François de Prest

Jacques-François de Prest is the Group Chief Financial Officer of Atos SE, a role he has held since January 2024. He joined Atos at a pivotal moment for the company, as the group was undertaking a major strategic and financial transformation. In this setting, his responsibilities include steering financial performance, enforcing capital discipline, managing the funding structure, and supporting the turnaround priorities of one of Europe’s leading digital services companies. His appointment was announced as part of a broader overhaul of Atos’ leadership team designed to support the company’s adjusted strategy. Before joining Atos, de Prest served as CFO of Mobivia. That role strengthened his expertise in performance management, cost optimization, and operational transformation in a highly competitive environment. Prior to Mobivia, he spent more than 20 years in the telecommunications industry, holding senior finance positions at Vodafone and Millicom across five countries. This international career gave him broad experience in corporate finance, governance, multi-country complexity, and change management. One of his most notable achievements was his contribution to several strategic transformation and operational excellence initiatives, including Millicom’s listing on Nasdaq in New York in 2019. Atos also highlights his ability to lead change in complex and fast-moving environments, a particularly relevant skill set given the group’s restructuring, refinancing, and investor-confidence challenges. He holds a degree from ESCP Europe and an MBA from INSEAD, combining top-tier academic credentials with extensive international executive experience. At Atos, he plays a central role in executing the company’s financial roadmap and supporting its broader transformation strategy.
