Orange Île-de-France

Orange Île-de-France is the regional branch of Orange, a major telecommunications company, specifically operating in the Île-de-France region of France. The organization is in the news because its director, Karine Dussert-Sarthe, has been appointed as the new head of TGV-Intercités at SNCF Voyageurs, the French national railway corporation. This external recruitment is considered unusual for SNCF and signals a shift towards a more business-oriented approach within the company. Dussert-Sarthe replaces Alain Krakovitch, who is moving to the materials management division of SNCF. This change in leadership at a strategic division of SNCF Voyageurs highlights the company's intent to modernize and potentially improve its services, making Orange Île-de-France relevant due to its director's new prominent role in the transportation sector.
