Games are made. Orange’s board of directors will meet on Friday morning. He should ratify the appointment of Christel Heydemann to succeed Stéphane Richard at the helm of the group. After having received the support of Bercy ten days ago, then of the Elysée in stride, the candidacy of the current European boss of Schneider Electric left very largely favorite. With 23% of the capital, the State remains the main shareholder of the incumbent operator and retains control over this strategic file.
