SQLI has announced the appointment of Julien Mériaudeau as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 September 2010.
An engineer who graduated from the Compiègne Technology University and who has a post-graduate diploma in Company Management from IAE, Aix-en-Provence, Julien Mériaudeau, 39, set up Clear Vision in 2000, subsequently changing its name to Clear Value, a consultancy specialising in the SAP environment.
In January 2007, Clear Value was acquired by the SQLI Group. At that point, Julien Mériaudeau was appointed to head SQLI’s SAP Consultancy arm, tasked with speeding development through organic and acquisition-led growth. This led to the takeovers of EoZen and Naga Conseil. In the space of three years, annual invoicing by the SAP Consultancy arm surged from €6 million to €33 million.
In September 2009, Julien Mériaudeau was appointed Deputy CEO of SQLI, working alongside Yahya El Mir to define and implement the development strategy of the entire Group.
Commenting on this appointment, Yahya El Mir, Chairman and CEO, said: “We saw the potential in Julien from the moment we acquired Clear Value. Gradually, we entrusted him with increasingly greater responsibility. He overcame every challenge, first in the SAP Consultancy arm, and subsequently as Deputy CEO of the entire Group. Today Julien knows the Group, whose values he champions, inside-out.”
Yahya El Mir, Chairman of the Management Board since 2002 and then Chairman and CEO from 2008, will become Chairman of the Board of Directors on 1 September next.
Julien Mériaudeau adds: “I am thrilled to be taking over from Yahya as Chief Executive. We have worked together on drawing up the next strategic business development plan focused on a competitively differentiating high value-added positioning. Thanks to an offering that matches market expectations and a high-quality Top Management, we have the resources to successfully complete a new, profitable development cycle for the Group.”
