Biography
•
A qualified engineer (ENSEM), Dominique Louis began his career as a test
engineer with Atem, a company specialised in industrial and nuclear engineering.
Several years later he created the company R’Data and subsequently, Alphatem,
a subsidiary formed jointly with Cogema. Assystem came into being following
the amalgamation of Atem, R’Data and Alphatem.
•
In 1995, Dominique Louis oversaw the IPO of Assystem which at that time had
3,000 engineers and technicians and generated revenue of €250 million.
•
The contraction in the nuclear sector in the late 1990s was a prelude to a
transformation of Assystem’s business as it diversified into the aeronautics and
automotive industries and expanded internationally. Since then, Dominique Louis
has sought to grow Assystem into a European engineering firm operating on a
global scale in the infrastructure and outsourced R&D industries.
•
Dominique Louis is also Vice-President of the think tank Entreprise et Progrès and
is a Knight of the French Legion of Honour.
