Earlier in her career, she was Director of External Relations at Kering, responsible for press relations and public relations for the group. She also spent fourteen years at Havas, where she held progressively senior positions: International Business Coordinator for Euro RSCG, Global Communications Director for Euro RSCG in New York, and Communications Director for Havas.

A graduate of the Institut Supérieur de Gestion (ISG), Peggy Nahmany is known for combining strategic messaging, strong editorial discipline, and a clear understanding of complex international environments. At Thales, her role is particularly important because communications is a key driver of trust, visibility, and employer attractiveness for a global leader in defense, aerospace, and cybersecurity.
