The Executive Committee determines the tactical operations of the group and is in charge of their operational coordination.
The Management Committee examines the indicators of each department and proposes actions for all discrepancies in relation to the company roadmap.

Frédéric Lasnier

President & Chief Executive Officer

After a short period in the marketing department of a national IT services company, Frederic Lasnier founded Pentalog in 1993 together with four colleagues, academics like himself. During a period of economic stagnation (in 1995) Frederic was encouraged to guide the company to markets in which offers were scarce or lacking altogether: client-server, micro - UNIX and the internet. Here, everything could be done and the offer was so rare that even a small organization could find its place.
In 1995, he decided to open permanently the capital of Pentalog to the participation of his employees. This participation has now reached 56%. It was a political vision that he shared with the founding members. Starting from 1997, Pentalog searched for their first services outside of France. The percentage of foreign activities subsequently reached 60% in 2006.
In 1999, as part of a large software project (10 000 man-days in J2EE), he made his first trip to Romania and laid the foundation for the Pentalog policy of European "low cost".
In 2005, he initiated the creation of BPO services (Business Process Outsourcing) and implemented the New Pentalog Business Model.
In 2006, with the help of Ausy, one of the 5 most important players in the French market of outsourced R&D services, he created Pentalog Technology, a venture by Ausy and Pentalog, co-owned equally by the two partners. The Joint Venture aims to provide low cost but high quality R&D services to global players. Frédéric Lasnier took operational control of this alliance.
In 2008, Pentalog Deutschland, the German subsidiary of the group was created. In 2009, Frederic founded Pentalog Vietnam. In all these areas, the management is provided from Orleans and it is here that 70% of the consolidated value is held.

In 2004, Monica took over the management of the new Bucharest office and dealt particularly with the management of human resources (recruiting high-level consultants in particular) and the budget and with the development of the local market.

Gradually, Monica would manage all operational activities in Eastern Europe and coordinate the strategic development of offices in this region, by collaborating with local directors.
