About Yves-Eric FRANCOIS

Yves-Eric François is the Chief Financial Officer of Neoen, one of the leading independent producers of exclusively renewable energy. Neoen announced his appointment on February 28, 2024, with an effective start date of April 1, 2024. He succeeded Louis-Mathieu Perrin and joined Neoen’s Executive Committee at a time when the company continues to expand across key renewable-energy markets. His career has been built around corporate finance, structured financing, and strategic transactions in infrastructure and energy. He started in 2002 at Natixis, first in structured finance and later in mergers and acquisitions advisory in the infrastructure and energy sectors, working in both London and Paris. In 2007, he joined the Eiffage Group, where he successively served as Chief Financial Officer for the Concessions, Metal, and Infrastructure divisions. This background gave him strong expertise in capital-intensive businesses, financing strategy, and financial management across complex operational environments. François joined Neoen in 2020 as Chief Financial Officer of Neoen Australia, based in Sydney. That international operational experience in one of Neoen’s most dynamic countries became an important stepping stone to his Group-level role. At the time of his appointment, Neoen highlighted both his financial expertise and the operational perspective he had gained in Australia as major assets for the company’s future development. A graduate of CentraleSupélec, Yves-Eric François represents a finance leader profile focused on growth, execution discipline, and long-term value creation. In his current role, he supports Neoen’s development strategy, helps secure the funding required for large-scale renewable projects, and contributes to a sustainable performance agenda. For a company specialized in solar, onshore wind, and storage, his role is strategically important in balancing expansion, financial resilience, and investment capacity.
