Guillaume Pepy

Guillaume Pepy (born 26 May 1958) is a high-ranking French civil servant who currently serves as president of the SNCF, the French national rail authority. He is also chairman of Eurostar and deputy-chairman of the Keolis Group.

President Nicolas Sarkozy appointed Pepy to run the state-owned enterprise on 27 February 2008 for a term of five years. In his Letter of Engagement, the Head of State asked him to make the development and modernisation of the enterprise the priorities of his mandate and that SNCF should ''enter, body and soul, into the era of development and competition''. He was re-appointed for a new term by François Hollande in 2013. Provided by Wikipedia
