He was a visionary and demanding rigorous leader, but he was also reserved, loyal, generous and considerate. All of the descriptions we have read honoring Serge Kampf are incredibly apt. And those fortunate enough to have known him, his family, friends and also, to a certain degree, the Group’s 180,000 employees can testify to this. Serge was an
exceptional man. He was captivating and left no one indifferent. A leader who understood the evolution of our business from quite early on, his life was an extraordinary journey. Over nearly fifty years, he built the company from a two-room apartment in his hometown of Grenoble to being one of the global leaders in the ultra-competitive world of IT services.
Serge Kampf inspired the dreams of generations of IT professionals. He instilled the Group with the drive to win with his genius and entrepreneurial passion. Capgemini has completed over 40 acquisitions and welcomed over 50 countries and cultures because of the organizational model invented by Serge Kampf. As decentralized as possible, this model transcends differences and respects everyone involved in this shared adventure. Throughout the 49 years that Serge dedicated to Capgemini, he also demonstrated that it was possible to build one of the largest companies in France and expand it across the world, with only a few key values serving as his compass. These seven values are what make us unique in the business world. Serge understood that a Group is only as strong as the resolute commitment of its employees. Therefore, he emphasized these same values in the men and women who worked at his side.
