On behalf of the Board, I wish Pierre all the very best in his new role.”

“I’m honored and excited to have been chosen as CEO of the Group,” said Barrial in a prepared statement. “Idemia has an extremely committed team of 15,000 employees worldwide and together, we’ll continue to serve our clients regardless of the circumstances.”

“I am thrilled and proud to join Idemia as CEO of the SET division,” Cole said in a prepared statement. “I plan to work hand in hand with my teams and Group senior management to bring the company’s strategy and growth targets to fruition.”
