Dominique Cerutti

In June 2018, Cerutti announced the plan "The High Road, Altran 2022". This plan ambitions a 14.5% margin and a 4 billion euros turnover in 2022 by betting on technological breakthroughs. ·

In 2017, he led Altran's acquisition of Information Risk Management (IRM), a UK-based company specialized in cyber security, as well as GlobalEdge, an India-based software solutions firm specialized in IoT systems and embedded software solutions.

In November 2017, under the leadership of Cerruti, Altran Group also purchased the company Aricent for $2.0 billion, which is to date, the group's largest acquisition. This move enabled “Altran 2020. Ignition” strategic plan to achieve its goals two years ahead of schedule and established the company as a world leader in engineering, research and development services. Under Cerutti, Altran published revenues for the year 2017 indicating a 10% increase in sales, as well as a current operating income up by 13.6% that year; an increased revenue margin of 10.8%.

Cerutti has been chairman and CEO of the Altran group since 18 June 2015.

In November 2015, Cerutti announced his five-year strategic plan, "Altran 2020. Ignition." The plan aims for the firm to reach 3 billion euros in revenue in five years and a big increase in profitability. As part of the new strategic plan, Dominique Cerrutti launched a strong acquisition policy, notably with Tessella, an international leader in data analysis and data science consulting, Synapse, an American company specialized in developing innovative products, Lohika, a software engineering company and Benteler Engineering, a German firm specialized in design and engineering services for the automobile industry.

In June 2014, he oversaw Euronext's IPO as an independent company after it separated from parent company ICE. As CEO of Euronext, he turned around the strategy of the group, moving away from the legacy of his predecessor, Jean-François Théodore. In September 2014, he embarked on a program to increase operational savings by €60 million over the next three years, with the goal of achieving a 5% annual revenue growth and improve the company's long-term EBITDA margin from 42% to 53%.

The French weekly news magazine, Option Finance, named Cerutti in its ranking of the top 50 newsmakers of 2014.

In November 2013, he moved up from deputy CEO of NYSE to become the CEO of Euronext.

In 2009 Cerutti left IBM to join NYSE Euronext, the global exchange group, as president and deputy CEO. He was also CEO of Euronext NV, the European subsidiary of NYSE Euronext, and chairman and CEO of Euronext Paris. In 2010, he was appointed as board member of the group. He undertook one of his first notable projects as a member of the board: compliance with the EU's Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. According to him, this directive decreased transparency in financial markets by allowing the creation of alternative exchange platforms at a time when “the need for transparence has never been so acute.”

In 2000, he moved to IBM Global Services, the leading market services provider in Europe, first as general manager for Western Europe and then for the whole EMEA region. He managed tens of thousands of employees in 17 different sectors. In 2005, Cerutti became IBM's general manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa.

Over the following decade, Cerutti ascended the ranks of IBM, and worked in roles that were particularly international. In 1998, he became executive assistant to the chairman and CEO, Lou Gerstner.

At IBM, he was promoted to his first management position in 1996 as the director of Personal Systems Group for Western Europe.

He moved to IBM in 1986 starting out in sales engineering and sales management. He remained at IBM for more than 20 years.
