Anne Harvengt and Philippe Van Troeye

“I am delighted to return to Tractebel, a company that has already had a lasting impact on me, both personally and professionally. Deeply committed to Tractebel’s purpose of engineering a carbon-neutral future, I aim to support consolidating Tractebel’s position in the global energy and built environment markets, in collaboration with our teams, our clients and other stakeholders. Of equal importance is upholding our unwavering commitments to safety, ethical business practices, the fight against climate change, and diversity and inclusion. I am immeasurably proud to be Tractebel’s first female CEO. I hope that this achievement serves as inspiration to my female colleagues and to women interested in the engineering sector.

Last but far from least, thank you to Philippe Van Troeye for his invaluable contributions over the past three years. Thanks to his tireless efforts, I’m taking the reins of an organization that is more prepared for the adventure of the century: driving the energy transition. Philippe’s legacy will serve as a strong basis in the months and years to come.”
