Vallourec announced the appointment of Ludovic Oster as Group Human Resources Director. He will take up his position on 4 July 2022 and join the Executive Committee. François Curie will leave the Group at the end of the year after a transition period for those transformation projects for which he is responsible.

He then joined the Valeo Group in 1999 to support a major acquisition and to deploy and optimize employee involvement processes, particularly in the US, Spain, and Germany. Ludovic Oster then took on operational Human Resources functions for divisions and branches, based in Spain and France, contributing to the improvement of their performance in a highly competitive international context.

In 2008, he joined the Norbert Dentressangle Group, where he became a member of the Board in 2014, as Director of Human Resources. In this position, Ludovic Oster supported the group's strong international growth by strengthening and structuring the Human Resources function.
