Changes in EDF’s business organisation
and appointments to the EDF Group Executive Committee
The EDF Group is called upon to play a
major role in the relaunching of a nuclear program. The new
organisation of EDF’s nuclear business and of the Innovation,
Corporate Responsibility and Strategy Directorate will come into
effect on April 1st, 2024. This
change is aimed at grouping expertise and skills into major
specialisms, placing methods on an “industrial” footing to improve
performance, and reinforcing cross-functional working within the
company.
From April 1st, EDF’s nuclear business will be
organised into four directorates and one unit. This new
organisation has resulted in a number of appointments:
- Xavier Ursat has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President with responsibility
for the Strategy, Technologies, Innovation and Development
Directorate. He was previously Group Senior Executive
Vice-President, New Nuclear Projects and Engineering &
Innovation, Corporate Social Responsibility and Strategy. The
Strategy, Technologies, Innovation and Development Directorate
brings together strategic activities relating to preparation for
the future and planning at Group level. It acts as project owner
for nuclear construction projects, drives nuclear development at
international level, and constitutes the technical authority. The
Directorate guides and challenges the technological choices made to
foster improved performance within the Group’s specialisms.
- Thierry Le Mouroux has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President with responsibility
for the Projects and Construction Directorate. This
Directorate acts as prime contractor for major new nuclear
projects, in accordance with the industrial safety, nuclear safety,

handover to operations teams.
- Alain Tranzer has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President with responsibility
for the Engineering and Supply chain Directorate. He was
previously General Deputy Head of Industrial Quality and Nuclear
Skills. The Engineering and Supply Chain Directorate is responsible
for delivering studies, equipment and services in line with
quality, cost and deadline requirements, while harmonising methods,
tools and product/process reference standards for new projects and
for the existing fleet. The new Directorate brings together the
nuclear engineering entities, and activities linked to
suppliers.
- Cédric Lewandowski has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President with responsibility
for the Nuclear and Thermal Generation Directorate. He was
previously Group Senior Executive Vice-President, Nuclear and
Thermal. The Nuclear and Thermal Generation Directorate is
responsible for the operation, maintenance and decommissioning of

entering service, in France. It continues to roll out, in
particular, the Grand Carénage (major plant relift) and START 2025
programs.
- Bernard Fontana has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President in charge of the
Industry and Services Unit. In this role, he will continue
as Chief Executive Officer of Framatome. The Industry and Services
Unit manages operational design/analysis, manufacturing and

fuel, and instrumentation and control systems (Framatome).
Within the scope of the re-organisation of the
Innovation, Corporate Responsibility and Strategy Directorate:
- The Impact Directorate is joining
the Financial Directorate within a new Performance, Impact,
Investment and Finance Directorate. Xavier Girre has been
appointed Group Senior Executive Vice President in charge of the
Performance, Impact, Investment and Finance
Directorate.

divisions. Brice Bohuon continues in the role of Group
Senior Executive Vice-President, Group General
Secretary.
Luc Rémont, EDF Group Chairman and CEO,
said: “We are currently seeing an unprecedented recovery
in nuclear power, which brings considerable challenges for EDF. We
have to continue operating our existing fleet beyond the 40-year
mark, while also successfully building the new EPRs, developing our
future SMR product, and increasing the pace of work on projects
currently in the pipeline. Against this backdrop, our organisation
and the way we work is evolving, to deliver further improvements in
performance, and ensure that our nuclear projects are successful.
We must achieve the best possible level of performance in each of
our major specialisms. With the commitment of all the employees of
the EDF Group and a clear definition of our missions, we will
successfully meet the challenge of the energy transition.”
