Alexandre de Juniac

[3] In his role at the Ministry of Economics and Finance, de Juniac worked closely on a 900 million euro capital increase the state-controlled nuclear group Areva announced in 2010.

That same, a French government ethics body opposed his nomination to succeed Anne Lauvergeon as CEO of Areva, arguing that his role as chief of staff of Lagarde would be "incompatible" with the position.

His predecessor Pierre-Henri Gourgeon had personally advocated for de Juniac, who had no previous experience in the airline industry at that point, to succeed him at Air France.

Right after becoming CEO in 2013, de Juniac launched an efficiency plan called Perform 2020, which, among other things, envisaged the expansion of the group’s Transavia budget airline.

[10] In 2023, management consulting firm Oliver Wyman appointed de Juniac as Senior Advisor for its transportation practice.
