Engineering and he also holds an MBA from Ecole Supérieure
des Sciences Economiques et Commerciales (ESSEC).
Tingaud joined the sales and marketing organization of Thomson

later, he took responsibility for the Company’s telecommunications
business in France, establishing strong relationships and close
cooperation with major customers.

major European players. These included ST’s key customers
with operations in both the developed and the developing economies
around the world, such as Alcatel, Ericsson, Nokia, Nortel Networks,
and Siemens. He also contributed to the acquisition of Alcatel
Microelectronics in 2002. Over the past twenty years, Tingaud
has played a major role in driving ST’s success and growth
in the key telecommunications market segment, which currently
accounts for almost 38% of the Company’s 2006 revenues.
