About Sylvie KANDE de BEAUPUY

Sylvie Kandé de Beaupuy is a seasoned business executive known for her deep expertise in corporate law, compliance, ethics and governance. At Alstom, she was co-opted to the Board of Directors on 30 January 2017, with the company explicitly stating that her appointment would bring additional legal and compliance expertise to the Board. Her mandate was later ratified by shareholders and renewed at subsequent general meetings. She also served on Alstom’s Ethics, Compliance and Sustainability Committee, which she later chaired, underlining the strategic value of her profile for the company’s governance framework. Her career was built in highly demanding international environments. She began as a French-qualified lawyer and spent nearly 20 years in the corporate and mergers-and-acquisitions team at Clifford Chance in Paris. She then moved into senior legal and compliance leadership roles at EADS ATR from 2003 to 2008, where she served as General Counsel and Compliance Officer and was also a member of the Executive Committee and the Transactions Approval Committee. From 2009 to 2015, she was Group Chief Compliance Officer and later Executive Vice President – Group Corporate Counsel at Technip SA. Since November 2015, she has been Group Ethics & Compliance Officer at Airbus Group and a member of its Diversity Committee. This background gives her a strong profile in internal controls, risk prevention, ethical standards and governance oversight within complex industrial groups. At Alstom, her contribution fits with the expectations placed on an independent director in a global rail transport leader: strengthening board-level oversight, reinforcing compliance culture and supporting disciplined decision-making. Her combined experience in legal advisory, M&A, compliance leadership and corporate governance makes her particularly relevant on matters of integrity, accountability and long-term value creation.
