A&I Who – Automatique & Industrie

Easy • Fast • Friendly: without this we are nothing!

These are the three things that motivate us every day. Through automation, we make our customers’ lives easier, their processes secure and their current systems reliable, all while reducing the environmental impact of their automation. To best serve our clients, we abide by our core values:

Team spirit – At AI, teamwork means pushing and encouraging each other to succeed and progress together. It’s about listening to each other, sharing laughter and knowledge. It’s about helping each other and being open to the world.
Agility – Agility is our strength. It is through agility and collaborative innovation that we test, create and invent. It is this flexibility and responsiveness in our proposals to customers that makes us a leader in automation and digital solutions.
Responsibility – We are responsible and demanding individually and collectively. Because we are committed to each other in the quality, reliability and sustainability of our business and our solutions. Because every AI is committed to Corporate Social Responsibility.

Who is Eva

I manage the human resources and communication at A&I

With a great team, I support A&I’s sustainable development by putting people and the group at the center.

Always listening to the ideas and proposals of each A&I employee, we are here to ensure that HR and CSR improve, are fluid and remain Aicompatible.

You’ll have no trouble recognizing me thanks to my ‘hello hello’. I always say it twice, who knows why. And my laugh which is apparently quite loud — pfff I still don’t understand why people say that to me…

Who is Alice

Sales Director, my job?

At AI, I’m responsible for the Technical Assistance department. This enables us to bring our expertise in automation directly to our customers’ teams. On a day-to-day basis, I manage a team of sales people whose aim is to develop our presence in France and to offer great project opportunities to our Aitiens.

What drives me on a daily basis is the human relationship and the sharing of experiences with customers, Aitiens and the various people who work with AI.

But it’s also the desire to take AI even further, while retaining the company’s own DNA that made me want to join this adventure in 2022.

As Sales Director, I define the short- and medium-term sales strategy in tandem with Benoît, who is in charge of the fixed-price part of the business, our aim being to create synergies between our teams and the different sectors in which we operate.

Together with the Management Committee, we share strong values that we want to instil in every employee on a daily basis: team spirit, responsibility and agility.

Who is Gautier

A pure Automatique & Industrie product, I started my career in 2015 when I graduated from engineering school. I worked as a developer in the airport, oil & gas and photovoltaic sectors.

I then specialised in our Third-Party Applications Maintenance (TMA) service, a technical division for which I then took responsibility. I worked on the structural and commercial development of this activity.

Today, I’m Director of Automatique & Industrie.

I put into action the strategy and ambition defined with our management committee.

I’m the guarantor of stability, profitability and respect for the company’s values in all its sectors.

I represent AI to its various stakeholders to promote its culture and commitment to sustainability.

Who is Maxime

Operations Director, what’s my background ?

I started my career at AI as an automation trainee in 2006.

After 8 years as an automation engineer in various fields such as Hydraulics, Special Machines, Oil & Gas and Renewable Energies, I joined a major group in the Renewable Energies sector.

Finally, after 5 rewarding years working abroad, I took the opposite path and returned to AI as Project Manager and then New Energies Division Manager.

Today, I’m responsible for the operational management of projects across our Industry, Infrastructure and Energy BUs. I work with our BU managers, project managers and account managers to bring fixed-price projects to a successful conclusion, from the bid phase through to the implementation phase, from a technical, organisational and structural point of view. All this is achieved through a commitment to AI’s values, employee training and internal promotion, and always through our CSR culture and approach.

I’m also a member of the Management Committee, so I work with the other members on the subsidiary’s strategy and on decisions relating to organisation and structuring, with a view to achieving our objectives of maintaining our position as leader in automation at regional level and extending it to national level.

Who is Benoît

My role goes far beyond meeting sales targets. As Sales Director, I lead a team specialising in our areas of activity for fixed-price projects, to transform our customers’ needs into tailored solutions with a commitment to results.

I build long-term relationships with our customers and partners, so that AI is recognised by all as a reliable, high-performance and innovative partner!

I work closely with the implementation team to ensure that our projects are feasible and fully meet expectations, but also to share in the direction our customers are taking.

As a member of the Management Committee, I contribute to the company’s overall strategy, aligning our commercial actions with our objectives. What motivates me is seeing our work contribute to the success of the company and the satisfaction of our customers, while respecting the values we hold dear.
