With more than 25 years’ experience in finance, Carole has led the finance functions of listed and European companies in highly competitive markets. She has also developed an in-depth knowledge of the Group’s agenda, being a Board member for two years.

As Chief Financial Officer, Aiman Ezzat has made outstanding contributions to the Group’s performance over the past five years, and built a world-class finance function which supports the Group in its development strategy,” said Paul Hermelin, Chairman and CEO, Capgemini Group.
