Delphine Ernotte (born 28 July 1966) is a French telecommunications and media executive. She is the chief executive officer of France Télévisions, and a former executive at Orange S.A.

Early life

Delphine Ernotte was born as Delphine Cunci in Bayonne, France on 28 July 1966.[1][2] Both her parents, Roger Cunci and Simone Brana, were physicians.[3] Her maternal grandfather, Jean-Pierre Brana, served as the mayor of Bayonne.[4] She is of Corsican descent on her maternal side.[5] Her sister, Marie-Christine Lemardeley, went on to become the president of University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle from 2008 to 2014 and a Socialist politician.[4][6]

Ernotte attended preparatory classes at the Lycée Hoche in Versailles, before graduating from the École Centrale Paris in 1989 with an engineer's degree.[1][2]

Career

Ernotte joined France Télécom (later known as Orange S.A.) in 1989,[1] where she worked as a financial analyst until 1993.[3][7] She served as an economist at managerial level from 1993 to 1999.[3][7] She was the head of Paris stores in 1999–2000, and the chief executive of La Société de diffusion de radiotéléphonie (SDR), a subsidiary, from 2000 to 2004.[3] She was the head of Orange's Centre-Val de Loire office from 2004 to 2006.[3] From 2006 to 2008, she served as the director of communication, where she implemented rebranding strategies (from France Télécom to Orange).[3] She served as commercial director of Orange France from 2008 to 2009, and as the head of Orange Distribution, a subsidiary, from 2009 to 2010.[3] She was appointed to the executive committee of Orange in 2010, and she served as the CEO of Orange France from 2011 to 2015.[3][8] During her tenure, a dozen employees committed suicide due to the stressful work culture.[7] She was criticized by the French Confederation of Management – General Confederation of Executives for it.[9]

Ernotte has served as the CEO of France Télévisions since 2015, succeeding Rémy Pflimlin.[1][6][8] Her appointment was criticized by some members of the Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (CSA).[10] She is the first woman to serve as its CEO.[11]

Ernotte is described as a "feminist" by France Télévisions.[12] While she was working at Orange, she founded Inov’Elles, a women's organization.[1] She has criticized France Télévisions as "a television station run by white men over 50".[2]

Ernotte serves as the chairwoman of the board of trustees of the École nationale supérieure de la photographie in Arles.[5][6][13] She is a member of Le Siècle.[5] She became a Knight of the National Order of Merit and the Legion of Honour in 2014.[14][15]
