Bruno Wierzbicki has been appointed as Director of Human Resources starting from 1 September 2012. He will be replacing Muriel Sinanidès.
Bruno Wierzbicki, a former air force officer who was previously Director of Human Resources at the General Council of the Oise department, becomes Inria’s new Director of Human Resources. “I am enthusiastic about joining this great institute. The way the institute operates is not unlike the way the air force does, with a central HRD and HR services at the regional centres.” Human resources are his real passion, and he is involved in many activities outside of work that bear a relation to his field. He regularly teaches at Science Po in Rennes, and has also taught at the Universities of Paris VIII and Paris XIII, as well as IGS (a school that specialises in HR). He is a member of ANDRH (the French national association of HRDs) and serves on the editorial committee of the association’s review, for which he writes articles and works on special reports. He is active on the Internet, writing articles for the website rhinfo.com.
His background
After completing a preparatory course for entrance to an engineering school, Bruno Wierzbicki joined the air force. He obtained an engineering degree from the Air Force Academy in Salon-de-Provence and became a fighter pilot. He then pursued his career in the army as an officer, taking on various responsibilities in management and project leadership. Eventually he turned his attention to Human Resources. “It is something that relates to my innermost values.” He trained at the Sorbonne where he obtained a Master’s degree in Human Resources. Bruno then gradually became involved in the Air Force’s Department of Human Resources, where he was put in charge of the mobility of 45,000 non-commissioned officers and members of the air force. Later, he joined the Defence Ministry’s HRD as operational lead of a mission to harmonise HR processes in the ministry’s departments and armed forces. Bruno Wierzbicki finally set aside his uniform and left the military world to enter the world of local government as Human Resources Manager for the General Council of the Oise département in France. He spent a little less than two years there before joining Inria.
