Background

About Chao Li

Graduated from physics department in Peking University and l’Ecole des Mines de Paris, I’ve received both acamamic multidisciplinary and industrial training. I am a digital leader with over seven years of experience at Nexans. In my role as Digital Development Manager, I spearhead the company’s ambitious digital transformation program in collaboration with Schneider Electric. My responsibilities include coordinating this transformative initiative across 40 factories worldwide, bridging internal IT teams and external partners. I actively contribute to the design and establishment of Nexans’ digital network. Since 2016, I have been at the forefront of driving digital innovation within the organization, championing proof-of-concepts, local digital initiatives, and more. As a Chinese living in France, I am fully aware of the cultural gaps and its tremendous influences on behaviour as well as way of thinking. Therefore this multi-cultural environment enables me to understand better and then adapt quicker.
