Youth no doubt but also a bit of naivety

Blaise Jaeger reaches a day in his Office the ataraxia, the peace of the dear soul to Epicure This is perhaps already the case, according to a former collaborator of the newcomer to the Executive Committee of Thales. According to this witness, has shared it some time with Alcatel, man produces a degree of serenity that Greek philosopher would not have failed to acknowledge: never excitement or stress, always positive, simply happy at work. "I love me for what I do", he acknowledges. This falls well, because, at the age of forty-six Blaise Jaeger has before him a sacred challenge. And not bad of hourly offsets to swallow. Luc Vigneron, the new boss of the defence electronics, he was indeed assigned half of the world: Europe, India, Middle East, Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia. With a clear mission, sell!
