Présentation

Jack joined Argos Wityu in July 2022. He was deeply involved in the French Government’s environmental initiatives during President Macron’s first term. He has extensive knowledge of large industrial companies and has actively contributed to the transformation of the French Postal Group. Before joining Argos, Jack was Chief of Staff at the Ministry of Ecological Transition. Over a four-year period, he was actively involved in energy, housing, transport and biodiversity public policies and developed in-depth knowledge of environmental issues. He was instrumental in elaborating key biodiversity, energy and climate laws. He also supervised the deployment of €30 billion in green investments in France’s post-Covid recovery plan (“France Relance”) and implemented measures to alleviate the impacts of the recent rise in energy prices, as part of the country’s “resilience plan”. Prior to that, Jack managed industrial investments at APE (Agence des Participations de l’État), the French Government agency that manages public investments. His role was to defend the Government’s interests in strategic companies in the aerospace, automotive, naval construction and defence industries. He sat on the boards of PSA, Naval Group, KNDS and Chantiers de l’Atlantique. Between 2010 and 2016, Jack held strategic and operational positions at La Poste and actively contributed to the diversification of the French post office’s activities, notably by creating and managing the New Services business unit, developing circular economy activities and sitting on the boards of several prominent La Poste subsidiaries. Before joining La Poste, Jack was an Auditor and Strategy Consultant (“Inspecteur des finances”) from 2006 to 2010 at the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry. In 2009, he was Rapporteur of the “Grand Emprunt” committee, co-chaired by former Prime Ministers Alain Juppé and Michel Rocard and charged with designing the priorities for a €35 billion investment plan. He currently sits on the Board of Electra, a leading electric vehicle fast charging operator aiming at speeding up the switch of mobility to electric cars. Jack is a graduate of ENA, Sciences Po Paris, ESCP Europe and Paris-Dauphine University.
