Laurent Aufils

As Chief People Officer at Orange Business, I lead the global human resources strategy and transformation for a multinational tech and telecom leader with 32,000+ employees across 65 countries and €7.9 billion in revenue. With over 20 years of experience spanning strategy, transformation, finance, and HR, I am passionate about driving sustainable business growth through people-centric leadership.

My role covers the full employee and workplace experience, general services, and large-scale transformation initiatives that align HR with evolving business needs. I have a proven track record of delivering measurable results in complex, multicultural environments, including successful M&A integrations, cost optimization, and cultural change programs.

I believe that the future of business success lies in evolving skills, fostering diversity, and cultivating deep employee engagement.

As a member of the Executive Committee, I lead HR digitalization and organizational transformation to enhance agility and operational excellence. I regularly present at board and executive committee level, shaping strategy and driving alignment.

Beyond my corporate role, I am a strategic advisor for an international IT services company, and an entrepreneur and private equity investor with interests in real estate and veterinary services. This broad perspective strengthens my approach to leadership and governance.

Open to new challenges and opportunities where I can contribute my international expertise, strategic vision, and human-centered approach to drive lasting impact.
