Orange promotes Fernandez, Louette to Deputy CEO
Orange’s board has approved a proposal by CEO Stephane Richard to appoint Ramon Fernandez and Pierre Louette as Deputy CEOs from 1 January 2016. Including Gervais Pellissier, who was appointed Deputy CEO in November 2011, the group will now have three of them. Orange said these appointments are intended to strengthen the group's governance, “enabling it to better reflect the diversity of its activities and its challenges.” The three executives keep their current positions on Orange’s executive committee. 

A career civil servant, Fernandez left the Treasury to join Orange as CFO last September. From January he will be Deputy CEO in charge of group finance and strategy. He also sits on the board of Meditel and the supervisory boards of Iris Capital, Orange Polska and Euronext. 

Louette, a French telecom and media industry veteran, is Deputy CEO in charge of the general secretariat, Orange Wholesale France, group sourcing and supply chain, the Chrysalid operational efficiency programme, start-up investment, and digital ecosystem relationships. He is a board member of Jazztel, BuyIn, Dailymotion, Deezer and Iris Capital.
