Thierry Hoffait has joined Carl Software in the newly created position of Managing Director. Aged 58, this software integration specialist strengthens the management team around Eric Bonnet, founder and CEO.
An expert in information systems and maintenance management, Thierry Hoffait has held a number of general management positions with international IT integrators and European software publishers.
" I've always closely followed Carl Software's development and appreciated its professionalism and product strategy, which have contributed to its success. Beyond this success, it's a company with a genuine entrepreneurial spirit, whose values I share. "explains Thierry Hoffait.
For Eric Bonnet, " Thierry brings us his very strong business expertise. This will enable us to keep pace with the organizational changes we are facing as a result of our growth, but also of the constant evolution of our users' needs and of technology. Thierry's arrival at my side is in no way a reinforcement of the hierarchy. Quite the contrary, in fact. The evolution of Carl Software involves reinforcing a participative management style that focuses on our true value: that of our employees, their know-how and their capacity for innovation. "
Thierry Hoffait will have to support the Group's growth, which in 2014 saw its 18th consecutive year of growth! To achieve this, there are 3 major levers:
international development,
bringing products to market to meet new needs,
- the ability to manage large-scale projects.
To meet all these objectives, Carl Software has launched the construction of a new 2,300 m2representing an investment of over 5 million euros. The HQE-certified building is located in Limonest, 10 km from Lyon, just a few hundred meters from the company's current headquarters. The move is scheduled for the last quarter of 2015.
