Emery was until then number two at the agency, a position he had held since 2022. He had previously advised two Ministers of Health, Agnès Buzyn and Olivier Véran, as well as Prime Minister Edouard Philippe during the worst of the crisis. of Covid in 2020. He had also wanted to join the Korian group, giant of nursing homes, in 2021 as director of public affairs, but the High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life (HATVP) was opposed to this.
