Valérie Morel - Digital Realty in France

Valérie Morel

Deputy General Manager, Digital Realty in France
Upon joining Interxion, she played a key role in a major transformation: from a company with 70 employees and €50 million in revenue to an organization with 330 employees and €300 million in revenue; this sustainable growth strategy has been pursued relentlessly. Working alongside Fabrice Coquio, she now oversees 13 data centers in the Paris region and 4 in Marseille, placing corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the heart of the strategy to drive innovation and economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable growth. A key player in the expansion into Marseille, she has contributed—since the acquisition of MRS1 in 2014—to the creation of the city’s digital hub— now comprising four sites—which has positioned Marseille as the world’s 6th largest Internet hub. A graduate of ESLSCA Paris (1986), she began her career at Price Waterhouse in 1987 and spent ten years there, rising from junior auditor to senior manager, leading audit engagements in the retail and automotive sectors. From 1997 to 2012, she joined Trèves, an international automotive parts manufacturer, as a financial controller, before quickly rising to the position of director of financial control for the group. Her operational leadership, financial rigor, and CSR vision have made her a leading figure in the data center ecosystem in France.
