Sophie Foucque has been appointed as CEO of MICHELIN Connected Fleet, Europe, Africa and Australia.
She will use her expertise in data, technology and the mobility industry to grow the fleet management business, including within the passenger transport and HGV sectors.
Foucque says: “I am truly honoured to lead the MICHELIN Connected Fleet organisation in Europe, Africa, and Australia. Mobility is an ecosystem, and I firmly believe that MICHELIN Connected Fleet provides something unique within it.
“With our cutting-edge algorithms, built on over 100 years of expertise in vehicle and tyre dynamics, and a deep understanding of driver behaviour analysis, we are transforming data into valuable insights that support fleet managers in an unparalleled manner.”
To achieve this, MICHELIN Connected Fleet can leverage a portfolio of solutions, including vehicle tracking, driver coaching, cold chain traceability, tyre and brake performance monitoring, support for EV transition and CO2 emission monitoring, supported by a skilled team of consultants and installation partners.
Foucque was previously Vice-President for M&A Strategy and Innovation in Michelin’s Services & Solutions division and will now be based in London in her new role.
Previously, she headed Michelin’s Mobility Intelligence Business Venture as Group Managing Director, prior to which she supported several divisions in the fields of artificial intelligence and business change, during a career within Michelin Group spanning nearly 15 years.
An International Trade & Marketing graduate of the NEOMA Business School in France, Foucque also holds an MBA from SMU Cox School of Business in Dallas, Texas.
She will report directly to Michel Vincentelli, Director of Connected Solutions Business Line at Michelin. Foucque succeeds Gilson Santiago, who has retired from his role as Global CEO of MICHELIN Connected Fleet.
