== Early career and foundations ==
 
🏭 '''Early consulting roles.''' Following his MBA, Ezzat joined IBM’s European operations before moving into management consulting at the Mac Group, a strategy boutique created by Harvard Business School professors that was later acquired by Capgemini to form its Gemini Consulting arm.<ref name="horses" /><ref name="challenges" /> Immersed in high-level corporate strategy work, he was deployed on demanding assignments, including the turnaround of Jeumont-Schneider, an industrial subsidiary producing electric motors for nuclear submarines, where he famously abolished the separate executive dining room and merged it with the staff cafeteria in order to break down barriers and force engineers and shop-floor workers to talk to one another, a symbolic step that accompanied operational restructuring and contributed to the business’s recovery.<ref name="challenges" /> Colleagues and early sponsors later recalled that he could “read the data and read people very quickly” and did not sugarcoat difficult decisions when he believed they were necessary for the organisation’s health.<ref name="challenges" />
=== Early consulting career and first stint at Capgemini ===
 
🚀 '''Dot-com venture and return.''' After nearly a decade rising through Capgemini’s consulting ranks, Ezzat left the group in August 2000 to join Headstrong, a small Washington, D.C.–based financial technology consultancy, as managing director of international operations, attracted by the entrepreneurial promise of the dot-com boom.<ref name="horses" /> The timing proved inauspicious: the bursting of the technology bubble derailed plans for an initial public offering, and although he spent four years developing the business across Asia and Europe, the venture fell short of its ambitions.<ref name="horses" /><ref name="forbes" /> He returned to Capgemini in 2004 just as the company was emerging from its own turbulence, having reported the first annual loss in its history in the wake of the tech downturn, an experience that he later described as a “baptism by fire” that taught him resilience and how to navigate crises in which events seem misaligned with careful planning.<ref name="challenges" />
💼 '''From engineering to strategy consulting.''' After completing his MBA in the late 1980s, Ezzat joined [[IBM]]’s European operations before moving into management consulting at the Mac Group, a boutique strategy firm founded by Harvard Business School professors. When Mac Group was acquired by [[Capgemini]] to form its Gemini Consulting arm, he was drawn into high-level strategy assignments for industrial clients. In one early mission for Jeumont-Schneider, a struggling maker of electric motors for nuclear submarines, he abolished the separate executive dining room and merged all staff into a single cafeteria, forcing managers and workers to sit together and exchange views. The symbolic move helped unlock communication and contributed to the turnaround, illustrating his instinct for breaking organisational silos and “not sugarcoating” difficult decisions.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="hfs" />

🚀 '''Dot-com leap and return to Capgemini.''' By the late 1990s, after almost a decade at Capgemini, Ezzat decided to pursue a more entrepreneurial path. In August 2000 he left the group to join Headstrong, a small Washington, D.C.-based financial-technology consultancy, as managing director for international operations, hoping to ride the wave of a planned [[Initial public offering|initial public offering]]. Within months, however, the dot-com bubble burst, undermining Headstrong’s ambitions; Ezzat spent four years building the business across Asia and Europe, but later admitted that “the venture never happened” as originally envisaged. Chastened by the experience, he returned to [[Capgemini]] in 2004 just as the company was digesting its own post-bubble turbulence and had posted the first annual loss in its history, an episode that reinforced his resilience and comfort in crisis situations.<ref name="hfs" /><ref name="cap-bio" /><ref name="challenges" />
== Rise within Capgemini ==
 
📈 '''Strategy and U.S. turnaround.''' Back at Capgemini, Ezzat quickly became a central figure in group strategy and transformation, being appointed deputy director of strategy in 2005.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="forbes" /> One of his first major missions was to work on a turnaround of the underperforming United States division, where some executives argued that the group should scale back its presence; instead, chief executive Paul Hermelin launched a “Booster” plan that committed around US$300 million to restructuring and investment in the American business, with Ezzat leading the project and Thierry Delaporte acting as finance chief on the ground in New York.<ref name="challenges" /> Within two years the U.S. operation had been restored to profitability and strategic relevance, an outcome that propelled both men into the inner circle of decision-making at Capgemini’s Paris headquarters.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" />
=== Turnarounds and global business leadership ===
 
🏦 '''Financial services leadership.''' In late 2008 Capgemini asked Ezzat to create and lead a new global business unit dedicated to financial services, covering banking and insurance clients worldwide, marking the first time the group structured itself by industry vertical rather than geography.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="forbes" /> He took charge of the unit in January 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, and focused on staying close to clients’ evolving needs while exercising tight cost discipline; under his leadership the financial services division grew into one of Capgemini’s main engines, subsequently representing about one quarter of group revenues.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" />
📈 '''Reviving the US business.''' Back at Capgemini, Ezzat was appointed deputy director of strategy in 2005 and quickly became central to efforts to fix the group’s underperforming US division. Some senior figures argued that Capgemini should retreat from the American market altogether, but CEO Paul Hermelin instead approved a roughly US$300 million restructuring and investment programme known internally as the “Booster” plan. Ezzat was tasked with leading the project, while a younger colleague, Thierry Delaporte, was sent to New York as finance chief. Within two years, the US operation returned to profitable growth, a turnaround that “propelled” both men into the inner circle around the Paris headquarters and established Ezzat as a go-to problem-solver for the group’s most difficult assignments.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="forbes" />
 
💼 '''Chief financial officer.''' In 2012 Ezzat was asked to become Group Chief Financial Officer, a role he initially resisted on the grounds that he saw himself primarily as an operations executive and had only studied finance as part of his MBA.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" /> Hermelin persuaded him in a breakfast meeting in Mumbai that the post was a necessary step towards the highest responsibilities in the company, and Ezzat accepted, taking over just before year-end closing and wondering aloud whether he might be dismissed quickly if he failed to master the brief.<ref name="forbes" /> He approached the job as a team-leadership exercise, relying on experts for technical detail while concentrating on decision-making and communication with investors, and over time he gained a reputation for credibility in the capital markets; in 2017 he was named “Best European CFO” in the technology and software category by Institutional Investor magazine.<ref name="capgemini-at">{{cite web |url=https://www.capgemini.com/at-de/resource/biography-aiman-ezzat/ |title=Biography: Aiman Ezzat |publisher=Capgemini Austria |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> By the time he handed over the finance portfolio in 2018, Capgemini’s balance sheet and profitability had strengthened, laying the groundwork for the next phase of the group’s expansion.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="forbes" />
🏦 '''Building the financial services global business unit.''' In late 2008 Capgemini created a new Global Business Unit dedicated to financial services, effectively giving Ezzat the role of a semi-autonomous CEO focused on banking and insurance clients worldwide. The appointment took effect in January 2009, at the height of the global financial crisis, which he later described wryly as “perfect timing to see the financial market crash”. Under his leadership the unit concentrated on a small number of strategic accounts, emphasised cost discipline and deepened domain expertise, and over time grew into one of Capgemini’s main engines, contributing around a quarter of group revenues.<ref name="cap-bio" /><ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" />

== Path to chief executive ==
 
🤝 '''Deputy CEO “duo”.''' In January 2018 Ezzat was promoted to Chief Operating Officer and simultaneously designated as one of two deputy chief executives, alongside longtime colleague Thierry Delaporte, rather than the board immediately choosing a sole heir to Hermelin.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="challenges" /> Observers described the arrangement as a two-year internal “horse race” that risked splitting the company into rival factions, but in practice the two executives worked in close partnership, sharing a glass-walled office at headquarters so that their teams intermingled and presenting united positions to Hermelin and the board.<ref name="challenges" /> Employees joked that “Aiman barks and Thierry bites”, reflecting Ezzat’s louder, more forceful style and Delaporte’s quieter but incisive interventions, yet accounts from both men emphasised mutual respect and an effort to avoid creating cliques.<ref name="challenges" />
📊 '''Reluctant transition to CFO.''' In 2012, after proving himself in operational and client-facing roles, Ezzat was unexpectedly asked to become group [[Chief financial officer|chief financial officer]]. Seeing himself as “an operations guy” with only a single MBA course in finance, he initially resisted the move and questioned whether it suited his skills or ambitions. A personal breakfast conversation in Bombay with Hermelin persuaded him that the CFO position was an essential stepping stone “to the highest spheres” of the company. Taking the role just before year-end closing in December 2012, he approached it as a leadership rather than a technical exercise, relying on specialist teams for complex accounting issues while focusing his own efforts on framing choices and guiding decisions.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="hfs" /><ref name="challenges" />
 
👑 '''Appointment as CEO.''' The succession process concluded in May 2020, when the board selected Ezzat as Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini, citing his seniority, broad multidisciplinary background and track record in both operations and finance; Delaporte left amicably and soon afterwards became chief executive of Indian IT services firm Wipro, turning the former deputy into a friendly rival in the sector.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" /> Ezzat formally took office on 20 May 2020, in between two waves of coronavirus lockdowns, inheriting responsibility for steering a global consulting and outsourcing business through unprecedented disruption in client demand and ways of working.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="challenges" />
🏅 '''Investor credibility and preparation for succession.''' As CFO, Ezzat worked to repair Capgemini’s balance sheet, simplify its financial communications and build credibility with investors. His efforts were recognised in 2017 when he was named “Best European CFO” in the Tech/Software category by Institutional Investor magazine. By the time he relinquished the finance brief in 2018, Capgemini’s financial position was significantly stronger, a fact that weighed heavily when the board later evaluated candidates to succeed Hermelin as CEO.<ref name="cap-at">{{cite web |url=https://www.capgemini.com/at-de/resource/biography-aiman-ezzat/ |title=Biography: Aiman Ezzat |publisher=Capgemini Austria |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="cap-bio" /><ref name="forbes" />

🧩 '''Altran integration and portfolio.''' One of Ezzat’s first major tests as chief executive was the integration of Altran, a large French engineering and R&D services group whose acquisition Capgemini had agreed shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="worldclimate" /> Despite travel restrictions and widespread remote working, he oversaw the combination of Altran’s roughly 50,000 employees with Capgemini’s existing operations, a process that he and external commentators characterised as relatively smooth compared with the culture clashes that sometimes accompany large mergers in the IT services sector.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="lemonde">{{cite web |url=https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2024/02/08/atos-the-hubris-and-downfall-of-a-french-it-giant_6503960_19.html |title=Atos: The hubris and downfall of a French IT giant |publisher=Le Monde |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> The deal significantly expanded Capgemini’s capabilities in so-called “digital engineering” and reinforced Ezzat’s view that in industries such as automotive and aerospace, competitive products depend on the tight integration of physical engineering and software expertise.<ref name="worldclimate" /><ref name="lemonde" />
🤝 '''Twin deputies at the top.''' In January 2018 Ezzat was promoted to [[Chief operating officer|chief operating officer]] of [[Capgemini]] and named one of two “deputy CEOs” alongside Thierry Delaporte. Rather than immediately designating a sole heir to Hermelin, the board allowed a two-year “horse race” to unfold between the two executives. Observers worried that the arrangement might split the organisation into rival camps, yet Ezzat and Delaporte consciously defied this scenario: they shared a glass-walled office at headquarters, encouraged their teams to intermingle and agreed their positions before taking issues to Hermelin so that he would not have to arbitrate between factions. Colleagues joked that “Aiman barks and Thierry bites”, capturing a partnership in which Ezzat was the more outspoken while Delaporte, quieter, could deliver a sharper sting when necessary.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="hfs" />
 
🌐 '''Internationalisation and India.''' Continuing a theme that had long interested him, Ezzat used his tenure as CEO to accelerate Capgemini’s internationalisation, with particular focus on India, which he has described as the “heart” of the company’s global delivery model.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" /> Over a period of about fifteen years he played a leading role in growing Capgemini’s Indian workforce from a few thousand employees to nearly half of the group’s total staff; by 2021 about 125,000 of Capgemini’s 270,000 employees, roughly 46 per cent, were based in India, and under his leadership the group announced plans to hire a further 45,000 people in the country in 2025 alone.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="economictimes" /> Alongside organic growth, he pursued an active mergers-and-acquisitions strategy, including an agreement in 2023 to acquire business process outsourcing and analytics firm WNS Global Services for around US$3.6 billion and the purchase of smaller cloud and digital specialists such as Cloud4C, while deepening partnerships with major technology providers including Amazon Web Services, Google and NVIDIA.<ref name="favikon" /><ref name="economictimes" />
👑 '''Appointment as CEO and Delaporte’s departure.''' In May 2020 the board chose Ezzat as Hermelin’s successor, citing his broader multi-disciplinary experience and longer tenure in key group functions. Delaporte later reflected that Ezzat “did a very good job” and that, as the challenger, he would have needed to be far more disruptive to prevail. Leaving on amicable terms, Delaporte went on to become CEO of [[Wipro]], turning the former deputy into a friendly rival in the global IT services market while maintaining personal respect between the two men.<ref name="cap-bio" /><ref name="challenges" /><ref name="forbes" />
 
📊 '''Growth, competition and AI stance.''' Under Ezzat’s stewardship Capgemini experienced strong growth in the years immediately following his appointment: between 2019 and 2022 group revenue increased by around 57 per cent, from approximately €14 billion to €22 billion, and the company’s share price roughly doubled, while operating margins rose from around 11.9 per cent before the pandemic to about 13.0 per cent in 2022 and the geographic mix of business became more balanced between Europe, North America and Asia.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="forbes" /> From 2023 onwards, however, macroeconomic uncertainty and more cautious client spending led to slower growth, with Capgemini forecasting flat to modest revenue expansion of up to about 2 per cent at constant currency for 2024 and facing intense competition in outsourcing and consulting from large Indian rivals such as Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and Wipro, now led by Delaporte.<ref name="economictimes" /><ref name="forbes" /> In this context Ezzat argued that Capgemini should continue to move up the value chain into more sophisticated offerings and focus on execution efficiency, while treating technologies such as generative artificial intelligence with prudence; he has cited the example of cancelling a planned AI chatbot for a client after internal analysis suggested it would consume about US$25 million per year in cloud costs, concluding that “AI solutions need to be evaluated case by case” and that not all implementations deliver attractive returns on investment.<ref name="economictimes" /><ref name="favikon" />

{{section separator}}
🦠 '''Taking the helm during the COVID-19 pandemic.''' Ezzat formally assumed the role of CEO on 20 May 2020, “between two lockdowns” during the COVID-19 pandemic, and immediately had to manage a sudden shift to remote work, wavering client demand and severe travel restrictions. One of his first major responsibilities was completing the integration of [[Altran]], a French engineering and R&D services giant that Capgemini had agreed to acquire just before the crisis. Despite logistical challenges, the combination of Altran’s roughly 50,000 engineers with Capgemini’s existing technology services footprint proceeded with limited disruption, positioning the group as a leading player in “digital engineering” at a time when the development of cars, aircraft and other products increasingly demanded the “marriage of engineering and IT”.<ref name="cap-bio" /><ref name="challenges" /><ref name="wcf">{{cite web |url=https://www.worldclimatefoundation.org/post/interview-with-aiman-ezzat-ceo-capgemini-at-world-climate-summit-2022 |title=Businesses Are Ready to Transition From Commitment to Action at COP27 |publisher=World Climate Foundation |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref>
== Compensation and wealth ==
 
💶 '''Executive compensation.''' As chief executive of a group with annual revenues above €20 billion, Ezzat receives a compensation package comprising fixed salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives, though his pay level remains moderate relative to some global technology peers.<ref name="capgemini-comp">{{cite web |url=https://www.capgemini.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Compensation-executive-corporate-officers_EN.pdf |title=Executive corporate officers compensation for 2022–2023 |publisher=Capgemini SE |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="capgemini-comp-2023">{{cite web |url=https://prod.ucwe.capgemini.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Publication-compensation-executive-director-03-23.pdf |title=Publication: compensation of executive director |publisher=Capgemini SE |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> In 2022 his total remuneration amounted to around €2.53 million and in 2023 to about €2.42 million, including a base salary broadly in line with €1 million and a performance-related variable component that slightly exceeded its target level, together with smaller savings and benefits items.<ref name="capgemini-comp" /> In 2024 Capgemini’s board, as part of a new four-year chief executive mandate, approved a 30 per cent increase in his fixed salary, from €1.0 million to €1.3 million, arguing that even after the raise his overall compensation would remain below the median for chief executives of companies of similar size in the sector.<ref name="capgemini-comp" /><ref name="webull">{{cite web |url=https://www.webull.com/news/10722255952484352 |title=We Take A Look At Whether Capgemini SE's (EPA:CAP) CEO May Be Underpaid |publisher=Simply Wall St (via Webull) |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref>
🌍 '''Globalisation and expansion in India.''' Long before becoming CEO, Ezzat had championed the internationalisation of [[Capgemini]], particularly its expansion in India, which he considered the “heart” of the group’s delivery model. Over a fifteen-year period he was instrumental in increasing the company’s Indian workforce from a few thousand employees to nearly half of its global headcount, and under his tenure as CEO this trajectory continued, with around 125,000 employees in India by 2021 and plans announced to hire tens of thousands more. He coupled this organic growth with acquisitions, including the agreed purchase of WNS Global Services, a major Indian BPO and analytics firm, for about US$3.6 billion, and smaller cloud and digital specialists such as Cloud4C. In parallel, he deepened strategic partnerships with [[Amazon Web Services|AWS]], [[Google]] and [[Nvidia]] to keep Capgemini at the forefront of cloud and AI-driven transformation projects.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="et">{{cite web |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/why-capgemini-wont-bet-blindly-on-genai/articleshow/122339925.cms?from=mdr |title=Why Capgemini won’t bet blindly on GenAI |publisher=The Economic Times |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="favikon">{{cite web |url=https://www.favikon.com/blog/who-is-aiman-ezzat |title=Who is Aiman Ezzat? |publisher=Favikon |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref>
 
📉 '''Shareholding and incentives.''' In addition to cash salary and annual bonus, Ezzat participates in long-term equity incentive plans designed to align his interests with those of shareholders, receiving performance-based share grants that vest over several years if specified financial and strategic objectives are met; in late 2023, for example, he was awarded 19,500 Capgemini shares, valued at around €2.4 million at the time of grant, contingent on future performance conditions.<ref name="capgemini-comp" /> Over the course of his career he has built up a personal shareholding in Capgemini that, by 2025, was estimated at roughly 0.06 per cent of the company’s outstanding equity, a stake that analysts valued in the region of €15–20 million depending on market prices and which is notable for a non-founder executive in a widely held listed group.<ref name="webull" /><ref name="simplywallst">{{cite web |url=https://simplywall.st/stocks/de/software/etr-cgm/capgemini-shares/management |title=Capgemini SE (CGM) – Leadership & Management Team Analysis |publisher=Simply Wall St |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> Commentators have pointed to this long-term accumulation of shares as evidence of his financial commitment to the company’s future direction.<ref name="webull" />
📉 '''Performance, competition and a cautious AI strategy.''' In the first years of Ezzat’s tenure, Capgemini’s revenues rose from roughly €14 billion in 2019 to around €22 billion in 2022, while operating margins improved from about 11.9% to approximately 13%, and the share price roughly doubled, reflecting both the contribution of the Altran acquisition and strong demand for cloud, AI and engineering services. At the same time, the group broadened its geographic balance, bolstering its presence in North America and Asia while maintaining its European base. By 2023–2024, however, macroeconomic headwinds and more cautious client spending produced flatter growth forecasts, with the company signalling only modest revenue changes in constant currency and facing fierce competition from Indian IT majors such as TCS, Infosys and [[Wipro]]. Ezzat responded by emphasising higher-value consulting and engineering work and by taking a notably measured stance on generative AI: he argued that Capgemini would not “bet blindly” on GenAI, highlighting that some projects—such as a proposed chatbot whose estimated cloud costs reached US$25 million per year—had been stopped because they did not generate a positive return on investment.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="et" /><ref name="webull">{{cite web |url=https://www.webull.com/news/10722255952484352 |title=We Take A Look At Whether Capgemini SE’s (EPA:CAP) CEO May Be Underpaid |publisher=Simply Wall St via Webull |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref>
 
🏛️ '''Board roles and honours.''' Beyond his executive responsibilities at Capgemini, Ezzat has taken on selected external mandates, joining the board of directors of industrial gases group Air Liquide in May 2021 as an independent non-executive director and, in 2025, becoming chair of the France–Egypt Business Council under the auspices of MEDEF International, where he works to strengthen economic ties between his country of birth and his adopted home.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="tbr">{{cite web |url=https://tbri.com/blog/manufacturing-growth-slows-but-emea-it-services-vendors-find-lifeline-in-public-sector-wins/ |title=Manufacturing Growth Slows, But EMEA IT Services Vendors Find Lifeline in Public Sector Wins |publisher=Technology Business Research |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref> In 2021 the President of France appointed him a Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur in recognition of his contribution to French industry, and he has also been recognised in investor rankings for his earlier work as a chief financial officer.<ref name="capgemini-bio" /><ref name="capgemini-at" />

💶 '''Compensation and pay structure.''' As CEO of a global services group with revenues exceeding €20 billion, Ezzat receives a substantial but comparatively moderate remuneration package by international technology-sector standards. In 2022 his total compensation was around €2.53 million, and in 2023 it was approximately €2.42 million, composed of a fixed salary of about €1 million, an annual performance-related bonus and long-term savings and benefit schemes. In 2024 Capgemini’s board proposed a 30% increase in his fixed salary, lifting it from €1.0 million to €1.3 million for his new four-year term, partly to keep pace with benchmarks for comparable European and global tech CEOs; even after the raise, analyses suggested that his overall package remained below the median for leaders of similar-sized companies.<ref name="comp24">{{cite web |url=https://www.capgemini.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Compensation-executive-corporate-officers_EN.pdf |title=Executive corporate officers compensation for 2022–2023 |publisher=Capgemini SE |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="comp23">{{cite web |url=https://prod.ucwe.capgemini.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Publication-compensation-executive-director-03-23.pdf |title=Publication – Compensation of executive director |publisher=Capgemini SE |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="webull" />
== Personal life and interests ==▼
 
🏡 '''Family and private life.''' Despite the prominence of his corporate role, Ezzat maintains a relatively discreet private life and is described by colleagues as strongly attached to his family.<ref name="challenges" /> He is in his second marriage to a spouse of Serbian origin and has two young children with his current wife, carefully reserving time away from business for them; every August he is known to withdraw from day-to-day corporate activity to spend a summer break at his holiday home in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, not far from where his parents used to vacation after the family’s move from Egypt.<ref name="challenges" />
📊 '''Shareholding, external mandates and distinctions.''' In addition to salary and bonuses, Ezzat receives performance-based share awards that vest over time when targets are met, such as a 2023 grant of 19,500 Capgemini shares valued at around €2.4 million at the time of allocation. By 2025 he personally held roughly 0.06% of Capgemini’s share capital, a stake that analysts valued at between €14 million and €20 million depending on market conditions, aligning a significant portion of his wealth with the company’s performance. Beyond Capgemini, he joined the board of [[Air Liquide]] in 2021 as an independent non-executive director and, from 2025, served as chair of the France–Egypt Business Council under MEDEF International, a role aimed at strengthening economic ties between his country of birth and his adopted homeland. In recognition of his contributions to French industry, he was named a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 2021.<ref name="comp24" /><ref name="sws">{{cite web |url=https://simplywall.st/stocks/de/software/etr-cgm/capgemini-shares/management |title=Capgemini SE (CGM) Leadership & Management Team Analysis |publisher=Simply Wall St |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="tbr">{{cite web |url=https://tbri.com/blog/manufacturing-growth-slows-but-emea-it-services-vendors-find-lifeline-in-public-sector-wins/ |title=Manufacturing Growth Slows, But EMEA IT Services Vendors Find Lifeline in Public Sector Wins |publisher=Technology Business Research |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="cap-bio" />
 
🍳 '''Food and conviviality.''' Cooking is one of Ezzat’s main hobbies, and he often assumes responsibility for preparing meals when hosting family and friends, seeing shared food as a way of connecting different worlds in his life.<ref name="challenges" /> He has spoken of a good meal as a “bridge” between his professional and personal spheres, a place where the intensity of corporate decision-making gives way to convivial conversation around the table.<ref name="challenges" />
▲== Personal life and interests ==
 
✈️ '''Travel, sport and interests.''' Outside work, Ezzat’s interests underline his cosmopolitan lifestyle and energy: he inherited from his father a passion for motorsport, especially Formula One, having watched Grands Prix together as a child when his father worked in Monaco with an office overlooking the start line of the famed street circuit.<ref name="challenges" /> He remains an avid follower of racing and has been seen at events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, while also enjoying team sports including rugby and handball as a spectator.<ref name="challenges" /> A frequent traveller who has lived and worked in multiple countries, he has expressed particular fascination with Japanese culture and an attachment to the wide landscapes of Northern California, and through his long involvement in building Capgemini’s operations in India he has come to regard that country as almost a second home; he jokes to colleagues that jetlag is largely psychological and that the best way to adjust is to eat a good meal at the local time.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="horses" /><ref name="challenges" />
🏡 '''Family and summer retreats.''' Ezzat keeps his private life relatively discreet. He is in his second marriage, to a woman of Serbian origin, and is the father of two young children with his current spouse. Colleagues note that he jealously guards family time and disappears from corporate life each August to spend several weeks at a holiday home in Beaulieu-sur-Mer on the French Riviera, not far from where his own parents vacationed when he was young. There he enjoys the slower rhythm of seaside life and often takes charge of cooking, saying that “nothing beats a good meal” for bringing together family and friends and providing a bridge between his professional and personal worlds.<ref name="challenges" />

🏎️ '''Motorsport, team games and global travel.''' Away from work, Ezzat is known as a motorsport enthusiast who inherited a love of racing from his father, whose office in Monaco once overlooked the start line of the Formula One Grand Prix. Today he remains an avid follower of F1 and endurance events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and he also enjoys watching rugby and handball, which he sees as embodying teamwork and physical intensity. A seasoned traveller who has lived and worked in several countries, he has expressed particular affection for Japan and for the wide-open landscapes of Northern California, and he views India—where he has spent extensive periods building Capgemini’s operations—as almost a second home. Friends and colleagues remark on his ability to step off a long-haul flight in Bangalore or San Francisco and immediately dive into meetings, a stamina he half-jokingly attributes to his view that “jetlag is psychological” and best countered by eating promptly on local time.<ref name="challenges" /><ref name="forbes" />
== Leadership style and personality ==
 
☕ '''Low-key habits.''' In person, Ezzat is frequently described as confident and direct yet unostentatious, with small gestures that colleagues see as indicative of his character.<ref name="challenges" /> Journalistic profiles have noted that he often personally greets visitors to his office and makes them coffee himself using a countertop machine, quipping that he is “independent”, behaviour that contrasts with stereotypical images of remote or heavily protocol-driven corporate leaders.<ref name="challenges" />
▲== Leadership style ==
 
⚔️ '''Direct management style.''' Internally, however, his management style is often characterised as sharp and demanding, with phrases such as “une lame acérée” – a sharp blade – used to describe his decisiveness and preference for clear, concise exchanges.<ref name="challenges" /> Associates say that he “says things with few words” and has little patience for vague or overly diplomatic presentations, at times raising his voice in intense meetings but focusing criticism on issues rather than on individuals; former chief executive Paul Hermelin has argued that while some people may find his bluntness disconcerting, he is more of a “go-getter than a hard man”.<ref name="challenges" /> Ezzat himself acknowledges that he does not “put sugar everywhere”, and that his habit of giving unvarnished feedback can require an adjustment period for newcomers who are not used to such frankness.<ref name="challenges" />
☕ '''Unassuming manner, sharp edge.''' In person, Ezzat is often described as confident and direct without ostentation. Visitors to his office recount that he frequently greets them himself and makes their coffee on a small machine in the corner, a gesture that colleagues interpret as a sign of self-sufficiency and lack of pretence. At the same time, his management style is regularly characterised as “blunt” and even “une lame acérée” – a sharp blade – reflecting his preference for concise statements and his ability to “slice through” complex issues quickly. Board members have remarked that he “says things with few words” and projects the authority of someone who can cut to the heart of a problem.<ref name="challenges" />

🔮 '''Outlook and leadership legacy.''' Looking ahead, Ezzat has framed his mandate as leading Capgemini into an era of “intelligent industry and sustainable growth”, emphasising that the role of CEO is less about personal power than about the ability to “add value” through a clear vision. His strategy combines expansion into high-value consulting, engineering and AI-enabled services with insistence on economic discipline and measurable outcomes for clients. Supporters portray him as one of Europe’s most seasoned tech CEOs—a cosmopolitan strategist and crisis-tested operator whose blend of bluntness and humility has so far delivered strong results—while critics focus primarily on the sharp edges of his communication style and the sensitivities around executive pay. How he balances these forces amid evolving technology, regulation and macroeconomic conditions will shape both his personal legacy and Capgemini’s trajectory in the coming years.<ref name="hfs" /><ref name="forbes" /><ref name="et" />
== Legacy and outlook ==
 
🔭 '''Future agenda.''' Commentators generally portray Ezzat’s mandate as centred on guiding Capgemini through what he calls an era of “intelligent industry and sustainable growth”, combining technological innovation with long-term value creation for clients and shareholders.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="challenges" /> Reflecting on his journey, he has said that accepting the chief executive role is not about power but about having “a vision” and believing one can add value, and former colleagues such as Bpifrance head Nicolas Dufourcq have praised his ability to deploy strategic vision with precise execution in the various positions he has held.<ref name="horses" /><ref name="challenges" /> As he enters the later years of the 2020s, Ezzat is widely regarded in business media as one of Europe’s prominent technology sector leaders, and his blend of global experience, operational focus and cautious approach to technological hype is expected to influence how Capgemini navigates both competitive pressures and the opportunities opened by artificial intelligence and digital transformation.<ref name="forbes" /><ref name="economictimes" />
