About Pierre-Yves JOLIVET

Pierre-Yves Jolivet is a French technology executive who was appointed in April 2025 as Executive Vice-President and Head of Eviden at Atos SE, while also taking responsibility for the cybersecurity business. His remit covers cybersecurity services and products, as well as the strategy and portfolio of offerings. The appointment came at a pivotal moment for Atos, a company listed on Euronext Paris, as the group works to strengthen operational execution, simplify governance, and restore profitable growth. Jolivet’s background is especially relevant to the cyber, defense, and public-sector markets that are central to Eviden’s positioning. Before joining Atos, Jolivet built a senior leadership career at Thales, where he held positions of increasing responsibility in defense and cybersecurity. Most recently, he served as Vice-President and General Manager of the Cyber Digital Business line. That role placed him at the intersection of digital transformation, secure systems, and mission-critical customer needs, giving him direct experience in managing complex business lines and high-stakes technology portfolios. Prior to Thales, he spent 13 years at Boston Consulting Group, where he became Partner and Managing Director in charge of the Tech & Telecom practice in France. In that capacity, he advised international clients across France, EMEA, and the United States. This consulting background gave him a strong strategic toolkit, broad sector exposure, and extensive experience in transformation programs, go-to-market design, and performance improvement. Jolivet’s academic background is equally strong. He graduated from École Polytechnique in 1996, specialized in telecommunications at Télécom Paris, and studied economics at Université Paris Dauphine. He began his career at Alcatel-Telspace, then spent five years in public service at the French Ministry of Finance, including the Treasury Department, where he oversaw public support for innovative industries. This mix of public-sector policy exposure, strategic consulting, and industrial leadership has shaped a profile well suited to managing large-scale technology businesses operating in sensitive, innovation-driven markets.
