Daniel Harari, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lectra, underlines : “We are delighted to welcome Anne Borfiga to Lectra's Executive Committee. With her expertise in finance, governance, organizational transformation and sustainable development, Anne has successfully worked for over 20 years in fast-growing international environments with high strategic stakes. I have no doubt that her experience and know-how will prove highly beneficial in meeting the challenges of a technology company like Lectra.”

In 2008, she was appointed CFO of Voltalia, an integrated renewable energies operator, and supported the transformation of this start-up into an international group listed on Euronext.
