A graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, Paul Jolie began his career as a public servant, working as a researcher at the CNET (the national centre for telecommunications research), which at the time was a state-run body. He led European implementation of SIM card standards.
When the DGT (Délégation Générale des Télécommunications) became France Telecom, he worked as a sales director and then as a financial director at regional level (with responsibility for Lower Normandy and then Burgundy), before returning to the CNET, now FTR&D, first as assistant centre director, then as strategy, monitoring and partnerships manager, and finally as senior research scientist for New Business Models. He then returned to Orange Mobile France in a strategy management role. Before joining Inria, he was Deputy Director of Information Systems at the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
As Chief Officer for Resources and Service Administration and a member of the Inria general management team, Paul Jolie assists Michel Cosnard in the organisation and operation of research support activities and in the administration of all of the resources available to the institute. He also acts as Inria’s representative to its supervising ministries in matters relating to the organisation and administration of the institute.
