Hervé Solus Named New CEO at Berger-Levrault

Berger-Levrault Group, a French software publisher specializing in management solutions for local authorities, the health and social care sector, CMMS, and education, announces the appointment of Hervé Solus as chief executive officer. He will assume the role on March 9, 2026.

Hervé Solus co-founded DigitalRecruiters at the age of 19, leading the company until its sale to the Cegid group in late 2022. He subsequently joined Cegid’s executive committee, where he contributed to the group’s transformation and growth.

This transformation will be driven by our strongest assets: our domain knowledge, our creativity, and our collective commitment,” he said.

According to its filings, Berger-Levrault posted revenue of €148 million in 2024, with a net income of €11.4 million.
