Hervé Gastinel

After studying management at ESSEC, finance at Dauphine and public management at Sciences Po and ENA, he worked on various projects at the General Inspectorate of Finance before becoming technical advisor to the President of the French Senate, responsible for the economy, finance and new technologies.

Overtaken by a desire for “the concrete and operational”, Hervé Gastinel joined Saint Gobain as Planning and Strategy Director. He went on to manage the building materials company, Terreal, before joining the Beneteau Group. He also remains Senior Advisor for the consulting firm EIM. Since March 29, 2021, he is CEO of PONANT.
