Profil
Benoît Potier est né le 3 septembre 1957 à Mulhouse. Il est actuellement Président directeur général d’Air Liquide.
Dans sa jeunesse, Il a étudié au Lycée privé Sainte-Geneviève. Puis, il a suivi le cursus de l’École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures de Paris et en est sorti diplômé en tant qu’ingénieur en 1979. Il a par ailleurs poursuivi sa formation au cours de sa carrière en étant élève à l’INSEAD (l’Institut Européen d’Administration des Affaires). En effet, il s’est rendu compte qu’il possédait des lacunes en gestion et qu’il fallait les combler. C’est la raison pour laquelle il a tenu à décrocher un MBA (Master of Business Administration) dans cette école. Par ailleurs, il a participé au programme de formation du Wharton International Forum.
Il débute sa carrière chez Air Liquide en 1981. Son premier poste est celui d’ingénieur d’études au sein de la division Recherche & développement.
En 1993, il obtient la place de Directeur de la stratégie et de l’organisation. En 1994, il devient Directeur des marchés de la grande industrie. Il dirige alors la branche Chimie, sidérurgie, raffinage et énergie. Puis, l’année suivante, en 1995, il obtient la place de Directeur général adjoint, chargé du développement et des opérations grande industrie du groupe Air Liquide.
Benoît Potier poursuit son ascension au sein du groupe en devenant en 1997 Directeur général d’Air Liquide. Puis, il obtient la place d’Administrateur d’Air Liquide en 2000. Ensuite, il est nommé Président du Directoire d’Air Liquide en 2001. En 2006, ses 25 années d’expérience sont récompensées car il obtient le siège de Président directeur général d’Air Liquide.
Sa vision pour Air Liquide est celle de l’innovation continue. Il tente en permanence de renouveler le groupe. Il a d’ailleurs obtenu le prix du « Stratège de l’année 2008 ». Ce prix vise à récompenser une personnalité du monde de l’entreprise qui a su améliorer la rentabilité de son groupe. Concrètement, il désire orienter le groupe vers les énergies renouvelables (gaz naturel, biométhane et hydrogène). Benoît Potier est très engagé dans l’hydrogène. Il est d’ailleurs administrateur de The Hydrogen Company.
En parallèle d’Air Liquide, il a différentes responsabilités hors du groupe. Ainsi, il est administrateur de Danone. En effet, il occupe la place de Président du Comité stratégique et membre du Comité des nominations et rémunérations. Il est aussi membre du Comité des nominations de Siemens AG. Enfin, il est membre de l’AFEP (Association française des entreprises privées).
