Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaurent Berger is a seasoned operational excellence leader and lean manufacturing expert with over 25 years of experience transforming production sites, now heading the technical division at Pilot Corporation of Europe. He has led multi-site, international change programs—from turnarounds to scaling plants—and combines hands-on shopfloor coaching with strategic restructuring and continuous improvement. As a consultant with XL Groupe and Bpifrance he has helped diverse teams adopt Lean and Six Sigma methods, emphasizing capability development as much as KPI gains. His engineering background (Polytech Annecy-Chambéry) and executive training (HEC Paris, Dana University) underpin a pragmatic, systems-level approach to performance. Less obvious: he also contributes to OpenCV open-source projects, improving image-processing samples and code quality, reflecting a technical curiosity beyond pure operations. Colleague feedback often highlights his ability to unite multicultural teams and sustain enthusiasm through long transformation journeys.
