🌍 '''Estelle Brachlianoff''' (born 26 July 1972) is a French engineer and business executive who has served since July 2022 as chief executive officer (CEO) of Veolia Environnement, a multinational environmental services group. A former chief operating officer (COO) of the company, she played a central role in integrating rival Suez after Veolia’s contested takeover and has positioned the group as a leader in what she terms “ecological transformation”. Her appointment made her one of the very few women to head a company in France’s CAC 40 index and the first woman to lead Veolia in its 170-year history.<ref name="wp-estelle">{{cite web |title=Estelle Brachlianoff |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estelle_Brachlianoff |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="challenges-profile">{{cite web |title=À la tête de Veolia, la géante verte Estelle Brachlianoff |url=https://www.challenges.fr/entreprise/energie/a-la-tete-de-veolia-la-geante-verte-estelle-brachlianoff_623039 |website=Challenges |publisher=Challenges |date=1 September 2025 |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref><ref name="reuters-heydemann">{{cite web |title=Heydemann to be first female CEO of telecoms group Orange |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/business/heydemann-to-be-first-female-ceo-of-telecoms-group-orange-idUSNIKBN2K20VX/ |website=Reuters |publisher=Reuters |date=28 January 2022 |accessdate=2025-11-20}}</ref>
