François-Xavier Ameye
Retired statutory auditor
A Deloitte partner, I began my career in 1982 with Constantin Associés, becoming Managing Director in 2005. In 2007, Constantin Associés joined the Deloitte group, and I became a Partner in the Major Accounts Audit practice in Paris La Défense. From 1988 to 2010, I was heavily involved in the air transport and tourism sectors, auditing Air France, UTA, Aéromaritime, Air Littoral, Jet Tours and Go Voyages, as well as shipping with the Louis Dreyfus Armateurs group. At the same time, and until today, I was responsible for auditing the Louis Dreyfus Group as LCSP (Lead Client Service Partner) and signatory partner. The Louis Dreyfus Group is a major player in the trading of agricultural commodities worldwide, which led me to work in many countries.I was also in charge of several major clients, particularly in the energy sector, such as Direct Energie and the Neoen Group.I was responsible for auditing the Air France Corporate Foundation (since its creation) and the Louis Dreyfus Foundation, whose main vocation is to support "Micro-farming" projects in Africa, South America and Asia.Over the course of my almost 40-year career, I have worked in most business sectors, in a wide variety of roles (financial, organizational, due-diligence, etc.). At Deloitte, I have also held the position of Director of Professional Practice and, in this capacity, was a member of the Technical Committee. I was also a member of Deloitte's Remuneration and Partner Evaluation Committee.Retired from Deloitte as of October ter 2020, in accordance with the firm's rules, I'm turning over a new leaf where I hope to be able to maintain some consulting activities but also devote myself to my wife and two children aged 19 and 20, as well as to my horses, my daughter being a top-level dressage rider.Historically attached to the Air France Foundation, being able to continue to give it my support as a member of its Board would be a great start to this new slice of life.
