Thales announced on Wednesday the appointment to its Board of Directors of Alexis Zajdenweber as a new director representing the French State.

The senior civil servant has been appointed by decree to succeed Emmanuel Moulin, recently chosen to become Chief of Staff to the new French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Alexis Zajdenweber will also replace him as a member of the Board's Strategy and Social and Environmental Responsibility Committee and Governance and Compensation Committee.

A graduate of the Institut d'études politiques de Paris and the Ecole nationale d'administration, Alexis Zajdenweber began his career at Bercy in 2003.

Since 2022, he has been commissioner for state shareholdings and director of the Agence des participations de l'Etat, following his appointment by decree of the President of the Republic.

The French state is the main shareholder in Thales, with over 26% of the capital, ahead of Dassault Aviation (25%).
