The idea very much my to him in the head for some time

The idea very much my to him in the head for some time. And the opportunity the (good) thief. Appointed Secretary General of SFR after the repurchase by the company of Neuf Cegetel, where he worked alongside Jacques Veyrat and Michel Paulin ten years, Philippe de Cuverville took advantage of this change in shareholder to hand and... "to put at the service of pastoral care". Recently, the very active parishioner of Sainte-Cécile, Boulogne-Billancourt, exercised his talents financial and team leader in the Diocese of Paris, where he took over the management of Economic Affairs. A somewhat different "business" that the degree in management from the University of Rennes has known so far, with "CEO" cardinal André twenty-three, collaborators, some 150 employees plus thousands of volunteers, and for assets, 116 parishes that serve approximately 500 priests or religious.

A real say, the proposal to resume the service came a little earlier that he was waiting. After his departure from SFR, end of 2008, Philippe de Cuverville began a long cycle of training full-time at the College of Bernardinu with seminarians. Five years to dissect the Holy Scriptures, but also the thinking of theologians and philosophers, from présocratiques to contemporary authors.

After international meat trading and the sale of concentrate of orange in Western Europe, he became Secretary General of the foie gras producer Delpeyrat, which is resold in 1998 to Maïsadour early 1990s. It was then that Philippe de Cuverville is contacted by Jacques Veyrat, who needs all the good wishes to transform "a concept on a sheet Excel" industrial adventure.

In fact of adventure, this will be one that is known, dissected since in all business schools": an empty shell become within ten years, at the end of 18 acquisitions, a group of 4,000 people, 3.3 billion euros of turnover and 7.4 billion in market capitalization. A success that the former Secretary General attributed to "the extraordinary Alchemy human" that existed not only between members of the leadership team - the trio formed by Jacques Veyrat, Michel Paulin and Philippe de Cuverville has always worked well-, but, more broadly, to all levels of the company.
