**Testing, inspection, and certification company Bureau Veritas (BV) is restructuring its executive committee and accelerating the deployment of its LEAP | 28 strategy. The changes aim to strengthen its organizational alignment, enhance scalability through product lines, and optimize operations for greater agility.
The company's strategic evolution focuses on driving customer excellence and sustainability, building on the LEAP | 28 plan launched in March 2024. The updated operating model seeks to empower regions with scalable product line structures, facilitating global offer development and unlocking cross-selling opportunities.
BV is consolidating its six current operating regions into four broader geographical areas: Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East Caspian & Africa. Three executive committee members will now lead distinct product lines: Industrials and Commodities; Urbanization and Assurance; and Consumer Products Services. These groupings align with customer workflows and market demands.
A new role, Chief Performance Officer, will be established within the executive committee. This position will spearhead the LEAP | 28 performance pillar and oversee key functions such as operational excellence, as well as sales and marketing optimization. The company anticipates this will drive faster decision-making and improved results.
Hinda Gharbi, Chief Executive Officer of Bureau Veritas, stated that the new structure will enhance regional expertise and deepen customer relationships. "This organization will also allow us to create more agility as we accelerate the execution of our LEAP | 28 strategy," she said. The transition period will run from July 1 to August 31, 2025, with the new structure fully effective by September 1, 2025.
