Dr. Mladen Vukomanović, IPMA President said: “Our long-term cooperation with UCL plays an important role in global coverage of the best practices in megaproject management. The Megaproject CEO Global Keynotes series demonstrates the value that project managers bring to society and show the true responsibility of Project Professionals. During the interviews Megaproject CEOs share their leadership insights, creating a legacy for the project profession. I am happy to announce our eight Chairman of the Board, Jean-François Monteils from Société des Grands Projets.”
Dr. Juliano Denicol, IPMA Global Head Megaprojects SIG said: “We are delighted to welcome Jean-François Monteils, Chairman of the Board, Société des Grands Projets. Société des Grands Projets is responsible for The Grand Paris Express, a new metro that will connect the main places of life and activity in the suburbs without going through Paris. The Grand Paris Express has four new metro lines (15, 16, 17 and 18) and extends line 14 allowing nearly three million passengers to make their daily journeys more quickly. With 200 km of lines, the Grand Paris Express will improve the daily lives of the inhabitants and accelerate the transformation of the region. With The Grand Paris Express, 95% of the inhabitants of the metropolis will live less than 2 km from a railway station. This means a journey of less than 10 minutes by bike or bus.“
