He joined Europcar in 2014. Germond, 58, has extensive senior executive experience. From 2009 to 2014 he was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Paris Mutuel Urbain, and of Atos Origin from 2007 to 2008. He was President and Chief Operating Officer of Alcatel from 2003 to 2005, and Chairman and CEO of SFR (Societe Francaise du Radiotelephone-Cegetel) from 1995 to 2002. Prior to those positions he spent 15 years at Hewlett-Packard, where he began his career and served in a variety of marketing and sales roles of increasing responsibility, ultimately being named, in Europe, Managing Director of the Microcomputer Group and a member of the Management Board. He is a 1979 graduate of the Ecole Centrale Paris and earned an MS in management from Stanford University in 1980.
