In that capacity, she sits on ENGIE’s Executive Committee and plays a central role in the corporate oversight and institutional management of one of Europe’s leading listed energy companies.

Maris began her career in the French civil service, working on international and European cooperation issues related to security and development.

In 2012, she was appointed Adviser on European Affairs in the office of Jean-Yves Le Drian, before joining Thales Alenia Space. She later returned to DCI in 2014 as Deputy CEO. Her move to ENGIE in 2019 marked a shift toward the energy sector, first as Executive Director for the Defence and Marine market within ENGIE Solutions, then as Group Vice President ESG and Chair of the Rassembleurs d’Énergies Fund. In those roles, she helped advance ENGIE’s sustainability and decarbonization agenda, strengthening the Group’s positioning on climate strategy, responsible transformation, and stakeholder engagement.
