Richard Viel appointed CEO of Bouygues’ telecoms division
PARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) – The board of Bouygues’ telecoms division has appointed Richard Viel as chief executive officer, the company said on Friday.
Viel, 61, replaces Olivier Roussat, who remains chairman of the board of Bouygues Telecom. Roussat, 54, also acts as deputy CEO of parent company Bouygues SA.
The family-controlled construction and media empire is run by Martin Bouygues, 66, one of France’s most prominent business leaders.
