"Looking back, the teams and the many remarkable individuals that I had the honour to lead or work with inside and outside of our company will always remain my finest and strongest memory. Naturally, I take pride seeing the fruit of our work and what we have achieved. It ranges from my contribution to the creation of this great company on the eve of the 21st century to revolutionising our corporate structure in 2013, the change of strategy and its implementation through the large number of significant M&A projects we completed. With the creation of one single Airbus, we finally accomplished the ultimate merger. Now, it's time for me to move on and I am now looking forward to embracing new challenges."
