Senior Partner
and access,
Jean-François Beaudoin joined Latour as Senior Partner. He began his career in 2001 in the Innovation Department of the Stellantis group (then PSA Peugeot Citroën), where he headed the aerodynamics research teams. He joined Alstom's transport branch in 2007, where he held successive management positions in the Technical, Operations and Finance departments, before moving to Asia in 2014, and becoming shortly afterwards Alstom's President for the Asia-Pacific Region. Returning to France in 2018, Jean-François became the global head of the Digital & Integrated Systems branch, grouping together digital signaling & solutions, infrastructure, and turnkey projects (18,000 employees in 50+ countries, €4.5b sales). Jean-François turned this product line into the main vector for the digitalization of Alstom's solutions portfolio. Over the course of his career, Jean-François has developed a solid experience in the international development of technological and industrial activities, at ease both as a leader of large-scale operations and as a decisive decision maker to operate profitability turnarounds. Jean-François furthermore led a number of mergers and acquisitions, both at small (~€5m) and very large (>€1b) scale, with a strong focus on integration strategy, development and post-acquisition value creation. Jean-François is a graduate of École Polytechnique and holding a PhD in mathematics from Mines ParisTech.
