Job To: Executive Vice President, CEO, Orange France
Jérôme Hénique has been appointed Executive Vice President and CEO of Orange France, marking a pivotal leadership transition within the Orange Group. The appointment reflects a significant internal promotion, as Hénique moves from his role as CEO of Orange Middle East and Africa (OMEA), where he oversaw operations across 18 countries and served over 135 million customers. Under his leadership, the region experienced robust double-digit growth in both revenues and EBITDAaL, highlighting his strength in steering complex, fast-growing markets.
Jérôme’s return to Orange France, having previously held senior marketing and leadership roles within the domestic operation, signals the Group’s intent to invigorate its home market with international insight. His appointment succeeds Jean-François Fallacher, now CEO of Eutelsat and demonstrates Orange’s commitment to leveraging seasoned internal talent to drive its strategic priorities.
The transition is critical for Orange France in a mature yet highly competitive market. Drawing from his success in dynamic, high-growth environments, Jérôme is expected to bring a renewed focus on customer-centricity, innovation and operational efficiency – cornerstones of Orange’s ‘Lead the Future’ strategic plan.
In parallel, his continued presence on the Board of Orange MEA ensures valuable continuity, enabling cross-regional learning and alignment. With a deep background in marketing, leadership and international telecoms, Jérôme’s move marks a continuation of Orange’s strategic direction and a fresh chapter for its domestic operations.
