One then speaks of him as a potential dolphin

Xavier Huillard, deposed Dolphin

Fifty-one years, Xavier Huillard risks see brutally interrupted a career as manager of high accomplishment orchestrated far. With his childhood was immersed in the world of the MGB his father, Jean-Pierre, was the patron of Dumez in Africa , this X-bridges by the best high schools (Lakanal at Sceaux, Louis-le-Grand, in Paris) integrates the Ministry of the equipment in 1979, before private sector in 1982 in Fougerolle, the current Eiffage. Very quickly, Jean-François Roverato, his boss, the propelling positions more increasingly important to the Director to the branch, reached in 1996. One then speaks of him as a potential dolphin.

But that same year, Antoine Zacharias, boss of the EMS (now Vinci) debauchery, to offer the same very promising route: international lecturer then boss of the subsidiary Sogea, Deputy then Director General of Vinci and President of the pole Vinci Construction (where it choreographs the merger between da Vinci construction teams and GTM), it became General Manager in 2002 delegate of group, and President of its energy pole. The consecration arrived in May 2005, when Antoine Zacharias announces that it will become in January 2006 non-Executive Chairman of da Vinci and Xavier Huillard Director General. Whether there was error in casting If Yes, it rests completely with the first. In an interview with the "Echos", it was January 23 praised his successor, even stating: "the logic of my relationship with Xavier (...)". is to build consensus.

Output failed to Antoine Zacharias

He had managed to "kill the father". It also took that at the height of his fame he "kills the son". This is one of the many facets of the character of Antoine Zacharias, long remained in the shadows of Guy Dejouany, the pattern of the General of the waters, before successfully to emancipate themselves, and that tarnishes today its image of brilliant strategist in requesting the revocation of that which he had adoubé less than a year to succeed him. Born in Moselle sixty-seven years ago, the son of architect fluent German began his career in 1965 in the business of MGB Celentano with a degree from a school of engineering of Toulouse ladle. Five years after, he entered the water General, first at Boulogne-sur-Mer as Chief of sector, then in Lyon as Director of the regional centre. Noticed by Guy Dejouany, he entered in 1991 the EMS, pole construction of General water, as Director. Under the fussy eye of his mentor, he restructured then very deeply the undertaking subject to a brutal reversal of conditions and overexposure in Germany. Became CEO in 1997, he completed to recover the group. In 2000, the General des Eaux, now Vivendi give autonomy to the EMS. Antoine Zacharias the renamed "Vinci", and in the wake the merged with GTM, pole construction of Suez, to make a very profitable global leader in the sector before Bouygues. Another shot of master, finalized in March 2006 after four years of efforts: the purchase of the company of motorways ASF. These undeniable success, the man then shows a less glorious facet of himself: his taste for wages tried today insolent in place.

Alain Dinin, the rise of the proponent

The man that should have been adouber this evening the Board of Directors of Vinci as new Director General of the world's leading construction and concessions is not born with a silver spoon in the mouth. Alain Dinin, President of Nexity, has not attended the large Parisian schools, but his career was what impress more than one member of the establishment. In 1977 entered the Férinel, owned by the Arnault family group, he began, irony of history, as management controller in a small subsidiary of BTP. Become number two group Georges V, chaired by Michel Lefebvre, "the" promoter of the 1980s, Alain Dinin must manage his death just after the sale of its group by Bernard Arnault to Jean-Marie Messier. Married to the CGI Group, in the ruthless world of water General and Vivendi, he succeeded with the President of CGI, Stéphane Richard, to convince J2M to sell, via a process of LBO, the real estate subsidiary.

This will be the source of their wealth. The intelligence of the tandem will be in effect to resell by apartments this motley set combining individual House, sport leisure activities or correspondence course to focus on real estate development. The weight loss cure will take the Group of 15,000 to 1,800 people, but will bring the company to heights of profitability. Nexity reached in 2005 a net profit of 128 million, with a turnover of 1.5 billion. The Group occupies first place of the French developers with 9.046 reservations end of 2005. His eternal rival Bouygues Immobilier is at 7.734. Alain Dinin also emerged as the single sponsor private is personally investing in the public debate on the lack of housing.
