Alstom<\/a><\/strong>, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, welcomes Martin Sion as Chief Executive Officer, effective today. Martin Sion succeeds Henri Poupart-Lafarge, who, after a decade at the helm, has decided not to seek a further term as CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Decade of Transformational Leadership<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Under Henri Poupart-Lafarge\u2019s leadership since 2016, Alstom achieved a strong leadership position in the global rail industry, marked by significant growth, a broadened product portfolio, and a reputation for strong partnerships worldwide. Henri\u2019s tenure saw the company\u2019s revenues rise from around \u20ac6 billion to \u20ac18.5 billion with a profitability among the highest in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful integration of Bombardier Transportation gave Alstom the power, the scale, and the competitiveness required to be one of the world leaders in rail transportation. The Board of Directors expresses its deep gratitude for Henri\u2019s many achievements and unwavering dedication, which have positioned Alstom well to seize the opportunities of a rapidly evolving transportation market worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcoming Martin Sion<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Petitcolin, Chairman of Alstom\u2019s Board of Directors, commented: \u201cWe are delighted to welcome Martin Sion as our new CEO. Martin brings a wealth of experience in industrial leadership, most recently as CEO of ArianeGroup. We are confident that Martin will further reinforce Alstom\u2019s execution capabilities and lead the company forward to realize the ambitions set. I would like to thank Henri Poupart-Lafarge for his long term vision and commitment to making Alstom the leader it is today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martin Sion said: \u201cI am extremely honored to join Alstom and look forward to working with the talented teams to advance the decarbonisation of transport and deliver innovative mobility solutions worldwide. I thank Henri for his leadership and for laying solid foundations, including building a capable leadership team that will enable Alstom\u2019s continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
