Engie IT, also known as Engie Information & Technologies and previously called GDF Suez IT, serves as the information technology branch of the Engie energy corporation. Established in 2010 under the leadership of senior executive Jean-Michel Carboni, Engie IT generated €600 million in revenue by 2013.
History
Prior to 2010, the IT functions were independently managed within each division and subsidiary of Gaz de France. After the 2008 merger between Gaz de France and Suez, the company adopted a strategy to unify IT services across both energy entities as well as Suez Environnement. In 2010, then-President Gérard Mestrallet appointed Jean-Michel Carboni, who was leading the DSI at that time, to oversee this consolidation initiative.
Jean-Michel Carboni established Engie IT (initially GDF Suez IT) in 2010 and assumed the role of CEO. By 2013, the company’s revenue had grown to €600 million.
In March 2015, Olivier Sala, formerly director at Gaz Electricité de Grenoble (GEG), took over as CEO. That same year in June, Engie IT introduced the "We Motion" transformation program aimed at boosting operational performance.
The company managed a comprehensive infrastructure masterplan that encountered difficulties and underwent reevaluation by early 2016. As part of this ongoing transformation, a new organizational model centered on service delivery was launched in September 2016.
In 2020, under CEO Mathieu Pestel’s direction, Engie IT partnered with DXC Technology and ServiceNow to create a certified global Centre of Excellence focused on modernizing employee experience and driving innovation.
Roland Zain was appointed as CEO of Engie IT in July 2023.
