About Veronika

Veronika Peguilhan is an independent director of Société Anonyme d’Explosifs et de Produits Chimiques, also known as EPC Groupe. She was first appointed by co-option in December 2022, with that appointment later submitted for ratification at the June 2023 general meeting. Her mandate was renewed again in 2024 for a three-year term, running through 2027. Her role reflects EPC Groupe’s focus on strengthening board governance with experienced, internationally minded directors who can support a business active in civil explosives, drilling and blasting, demolition, and related industrial services. She holds degrees from Heriot-Watt University in Aberdeen and the Mining University of Zagreb. Peguilhan brings more than 30 years of experience across the energy, defense, and engineering services sectors. She began her career at ANDRA, the French national radioactive waste management agency, before joining Schlumberger Oilfield Services as a project manager. She later held senior marketing and sales responsibilities at Thales, and then moved into senior leadership roles at Sodexo Defense Services, where she served as President of the division from 2010 to 2021. She is currently Executive Global Client Partner at Capgemini Engineering and also serves as an independent board member of DCI (Défense Conseil International). Within EPC Groupe, her background is particularly relevant to commercial strategy, key-account management, international operations, and sensitive industrial markets such as defense and energy. Her career spans technical, operational, and executive leadership roles in major multinational organizations, giving her a strong understanding of operational safety, global business development, and the governance challenges faced by technically complex companies. Her presence on the board highlights EPC Groupe’s preference for directors with strategic depth, sector knowledge, and long-term oversight capabilities.
