Presentation of the members:

Nacira Salvan, Head of Information Systems Security (RSSI) in the public sector, also founder and president of the CErcle des Femmes de la CYberSécurité (CEFCYS). Nacira agreed to join this advisory body because she shares the school’s vision of promoting diversity and inclusion in cybersecurity professions, and making it accessible to as many people as possible.

We need to demystify the world of cybersecurity. Yes, it is available! Whether we have a literary, legal, artistic, scientific or other profile, cyber needs skills and vision to frame and federate, to structure and organize, to inspire, to raise awareness and explain, to invent and innovate, to better understand or to guarantee respectful use of each other!

Grégoire Sala, Associate Director at Waoup, startup studio supporting the creation of “start-ups” (health/nutrition, ecological transition, industrial revival, economy/territories, etc.). Grégoire advised the co-founders in the project phase of the school. It is also under his leadership that a project incubator associated with the school should soon see the light of day, in order to support those who wish to innovate in the field of “cyber” by benefiting from the infrastructures of the establishment.

Yann Bourjault, Director of Digital Transformation and Cybersecurity France at Schneider Electric:

Training in cybersecurity management is a major challenge at Schneider Electric. As a leader in digital transformation, we pay particular attention to the choice of young talents who join us. In this context, we are very happy to collaborate with the CSB.School, the 1st management school dedicated to cybersecurity with a strong prism on industrial cybersecurity, to support the skills development of the IT & OT talents of tomorrow!

Philippe Trouchaud, Partner PwC France, Chief Technology & Products Officer and ExCo Member. Philippe immediately supported the project and was one of the very first to agree to join the CSB.School Strategic Committee:

Technology and cybersecurity are at the heart of organizational transformation challenges. Faced with these challenges, I share with CSB.School the conviction that training is one of the key responses. I am happy with this collaboration in order to promote the variety of professions and the diversity of profiles in cybersecurity.

Thiébaut Meyer, Director, Office of the CISO, Google Cloud, former CISO of the National Assembly and the Presidency of the Republic:

Along with sustainable development, training is one of the pillars of Google Cloud’s commitment in France. We are convinced that the cybersecurity sector must be supported through professional training. My participation in the Strategic Committee of CSB.School is the reflection of this commitment and this support.

Rodolphe de Beaufort, Deputy General Delegate of GIMELEC:

Perfectly aware of the challenges of cybersecurity and its critical nature in promoting Industry 4.0 and the energy transition, GIMELEC supports and assists its members in their search for trained human resources, in line with their development plan. We see CSB.School as a catalyst to increase the attractiveness of cybersecurity professions.

Patrice Chelim, Director of CSB.School & Chairman of the Strategic Committee concludes:

It is with great pride that we welcome these influential personalities from the French ecosystem, seasoned professionals in each of their fields. We could not have hoped for a better “distribution” to accompany the first steps of the School, and ensure its future development.

The CSB.School Strategic Committee will officially hold its first installation meeting in October 2022.
