Philippe Fort: Netia

Netia has announced a major organisational change with the appointment of Philippe Fort as CEO and the departure of Netia founders Christophe Carniel and Pierre Keiflin.

Fort is the former president of Netia’s Supervisory Board, and has more than 20 years’ experience in the telecommunications sector with organisations including British Telecom, Alcatel, Ericsson and Atos. He joined France Telecom in 2000 and has been MD of GlobeCast since 2011.

Specialising in audiovisual content management solutions for major international radio and television broadcasters such as France Television, RAI, ABC, RTL, RTBF, Radio France and Canal+, Netia was acquired in 2008 by GlobeCast (a subsidiary of France Telecom/Orange). Since its founding in 1993, Netia has built up to a turnover of €8.7m in 2010 and now employs more than 70 people – mostly in research and development – in and around Montpellier, France.
