Mr Breton could not have been at the same time executive of CGI group (Quebec only in early 1990's) and elected member of Conseil Général Poitou Charente (France) between 1990 and 1993! In France we remember he was member of Conseil Général Poitou Charente, so CGI should stand for another company (Compagnie Générale Immobilière according to a former student of Ecole Centrale Paris). Please verify. He was appointed Chairman and CEO of Atos in November 2008 and oversaw the acquisition of Siemens IT Solutions and Services in July 2011.

During his career he has received numerous awards including the prestigious, French Légion d'Honneur (Officier) in 2008. In 2012 he was made a Grand Officier in the French National Order of Merit.

Thierry is a graduate in electrical engineering and computer science from Supélec in Paris and a graduate from the French Institute for Higher National Defense IHEDN. As well as being the author of many books about information technology and economy, during the 1980s he wrote a few fiction books. One of his most popular titles was Softwar, a Cold War thriller(La guerre douce), which he coauthored with Denis Beneich. Originally written in French, the book was translated into English in 1986.
