The Cyber Campus today announced the appointment of Farida Poulain to the role of Chief Executive Officer. This decision comes in the context of strengthening the Campus’s position as the central hub of the French and European cybersecurity and trusted digital economy, following Joffrey Célestin-Urbain’s election to the presidency in March.
Currently the Director of Programs for the Cyber Booster incubator, hosted within the Cyber Campus, Farida Poulain is widely recognized for her expertise in guiding startups and promoting new players in the technology sector. She succeeds Yann Bonnet.
Implementing the 2026-2028 Strategic Plan
Her appointment followed a competitive process, marked by a large number of candidacies. She presented a vision aligned with the Cyber Campus’ 2026-2028 strategic framework, which emphasizes the financial and operational performance of the SAS Campus Cyber as well as the Heart Campus project, aimed at strengthening synergies among the actors present on the site.
Her nomination illustrates the Campus Cyber’s new positioning as the ecosystem’s central operator which will, by year-end, be able to rely on a fully operational president and chief executive officer duo.
