Marie-Véronique Lacaze is a French business executive widely recognized for her leadership in information systems, enterprise networks, and Internet services. She co-founded Witbe with Jean-Michel Planche in 2000 and has since been one of the main architects of the company’s strategic direction. Witbe describes her as having previously led sales and commercial operations across several companies, and notes that in the late 1980s she contributed to the rapid growth of one of France’s leading PC manufacturers. She later joined Oléane as Managing Director, helping develop it into the first French Internet operator dedicated to businesses. At Witbe, Lacaze currently serves as Chair of the Board and as President and Chief Executive Officer. Her career reflects a strong combination of commercial execution and operational leadership, along with a deep understanding of digital infrastructure and customer-facing services. That background has shaped Witbe’s positioning as a company focused on user experience, quality of service, and automated video-service testing. From the start, she helped build a business model based on helping clients see problems the way end users see them, so they can detect issues earlier, improve reliability, and deliver better service across devices and networks. Under her leadership, Witbe has grown into an international reference in video monitoring and test automation, serving telecom operators, broadcasters, and content providers across multiple regions. Her role has been central to the company’s expansion, including its emphasis on real-device testing, remote monitoring, and proactive quality assurance. Witbe’s corporate communications also highlight her involvement in the company’s more recent AI-enabled testing developments, showing a continued focus on innovation and operational efficiency.
