Elisabeth currently serves on the Board of Directors for a large global industrial company. She was most recently Vice President, Strategy at Airbus, a world leader in the aerospace sector. She has had a successful career of more than 30 years in the aerospace business with several senior management roles, notably as Finance Executive and Head of Audit and Risk for Airbus. She has also led many impactful projects such as the Airbus / Bombardier commercial aircraft joint venture and the Airbus industrial footprint in the Americas.

Elisabeth began her professional career with an Audit firm and joined Aerospatiale, the French aerospace company which co-founded Airbus, shortly after. As one of a handful of women executive leaders in commercial aviation, she played a pivotal role in restructuring the European Aerospace Industry with the merger of Aerospatiale/Matra, the creation of EADS (European Aerospace and Defense Company), and the integration of the Airbus Company involving the aviation players of France, Germany, the UK, and Spain.

Elisabeth is a member of the global board of IWF and the Vice President of IWF France.  In 2010, in recognition of her contribution to the French and European Aerospace Industry, Elisabeth was made “Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur”, the highest distinction in France bestowed by the President. In 2023, after 40 years of professional commitment, she was made “Officier de l’Ordre National du Mérite”.  She currently chairs the Board of TSM (faculty of management of the University of Toulouse) and has an active and critical role in connecting higher education institutions with the business world. Elisabeth holds a Master in Management from the Toulouse Business School, majoring in Finance, and a bachelor’s in law with honors from the University of Toulouse.
