About Marc Aubry

Marc Aubry is a long-serving employee representative director at Safran, where he has been a key voice for employee shareholders at board level. Born in 1963, he is an engineer from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Hydraulique et de Mécanique de Grenoble (ENSHMG) and holds a postgraduate degree in environmental and engineering geophysics, with a specialization in hydrology. This scientific background gave him a strong technical foundation well suited to a high-technology industrial group such as Safran. He has spent most of his career within the group. Since 1990, he has worked as a design engineer, particularly on the development of dynamic sealing systems for space engine turbopumps. That long industrial experience gave him deep operational knowledge of aerospace and space technologies, as well as the performance, reliability and safety standards expected in these sectors. Over time, he also became an important figure in employee relations and internal governance, serving as central CFDT union delegate at Snecma and as CFDT coordinator across the group. Within Safran’s governance framework, Marc Aubry served as a director representing employee shareholders and as a member of the Audit and Risk Committee. He also held responsibilities in the employee shareholding ecosystem, including as vice-chairman of the supervisory board of the Safran Investissement employee shareholding fund until December 2013, and later as chairman of its supervisory board. His profile combines technical expertise, long industrial tenure, a strong understanding of employee shareholder interests, and practical knowledge of governance and oversight matters. His contribution to the board has been marked by a field-based understanding of Safran’s businesses, close familiarity with the group’s products and markets, and an ability to connect operational realities with governance priorities. In 2024, Safran noted that his mandate was reaching its end and would be replaced, underlining the long duration and continuity of his role in the group’s recent governance history. Overall, Marc Aubry stands out as a trusted director whose expertise bridges engineering, employee representation and board-level oversight.
