Before taking this role, Pierre-Éric Saint-André co-founded Axione, a leading player in telecom infrastructure and public service delegations linked to France’s very high-speed broadband rollout. Following Bouygues Construction’s acquisition of Axione at the end of 2005, he joined the Bouygues Group and became Managing Director of Axione. This first major leadership phase helped him build deep expertise in concessions, public-private partnerships, and long-term network infrastructure, while shaping a management style focused on complex, growth-oriented projects. From 2011 onward, he expanded his responsibilities to include Renewable Energy activities at Bouygues Energies & Services, and later infrastructure related to power generation and transmission. In 2017, he moved to Bouygues Bâtiment International in Asia, where he became Chairman of Dragages Hong Kong and Executive Vice President responsible for Asia-Pacific.
