Heading to Montpellier for Guillaume de Landtsheer?
Dell’s French subsidiary is headquartered on site. The man in question faced that question after he officially announced that he would take the role as chief executive. At 53, he succeeds Anwar Dahab, who spent 26 years with the group and has served as France’s CEO twice (2015-2017, 2023-2026).
Guillaume de Landtsheer had previously led NetApp’s French subsidiary (appointed in September 2019; he spent nearly seven years in this role). The unit reported for its 2025 financial year a net revenue of €204.4 million (+4.6% year over year), a profit of €4.3 million (-35.8%), and a staff of 194 people.
With Dell France, we’re looking at a different scale. The company employed 1,653 people – including 1,486 executives – at the end of its 2025 fiscal year. Over that period, net revenue reached $2.28 billion (-4%). Its net income stood at €50.3 million (+7%).
Before his move to NetApp, Guillaume De Landtsheer had held a variety of commercial roles at Microsoft (account manager for AXA, enterprise sales management for the Nordic countries, etc.). After an early entrepreneurial venture in foodtech during the 1990s, he entered the IT sector in business development at Highdeal. This spin-off of France Télécom, specialized in billing systems, would pass into SAP’s fold in 2009.
