Bureau Veritas has appointed Hinda Gharbi as its new chief executive.
She is believed to be the first woman to lead a member of the International Association of Classification Societies.
Gharbi joined the French testing, certification and inspection giant as chief operating officer in May 2022. In what appears to be a fast-track promotion through the executive board, she was appointed deputy chief executive in January this year and then chief executive, succeeding Didier Michaud-Daniel.
