Odile Duthil Named New President of Clusif

Odile Duthil elected President of Clusif, signaling a new phase for the cybersecurity association

Odile Duthil, the head of cybersecurity at the Caisse des Dépôts Group, has been elected President of Clusif by the association’s board of directors. She succeeds Benoît Fuzeau, who held the position for more than three years. Under his leadership, the oldest professional association dedicated to cybersecurity was recognized as a public utility on November 28, 2024.

“To meet the challenges of digital trust and our professions, we will prioritize strengthening collaboration with regional Clusifs and international partners, and we will pursue a new strategy to develop partnerships with an ecosystem broadened beyond the cybersecurity sector (risk managers, finance functions, human resources, legal, …).” said the new President.

She will work alongside Florence Puybareau, Clusif’s chief executive since February.

In the framework of her term, she will be supported by Loïc Guézo (Proofpoint), Anne Doré (ADHEL), and Michel Dubois (Groupe La Poste), who will respectively serve as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of Clusif.
