Bio

Jean-Benoit is Group CIO of RATP Dev, the international transport operator, where he has driven the group's digital transformation and international growth — with revenue multiplied tenfold between 2010 and 2025. He aligns technology with business priorities, secures and modernizes systems, and leads complex IT transformation programs across multicultural, multi-site teams.

His core expertise spans IT governance, enterprise architecture and systems integration, cybersecurity and risk management (EDR, SOC, Proofpoint, SentinelOne), data platforms (Snowflake, Airflow, Qlik), cloud migrations and ERP landscapes (SAP, Sage X3) — with a growing focus on generative AI and digital sovereignty.

Before RATP Dev, he was Group CIO at Giraud International, Director of SAP applications at Brake France and IS architect at LVMH, after graduating from École Centrale Paris. His operational perspective on risk, resilience and vendor governance makes him a natural advisor for Drimt's mission.
