The spirit of adventure is available he said

This is not a CV, it is a partition! Distinguished clarinetist, pianist amateur, composer of Chamber music, the first Director General title of the new Union française of seed (UFS), Vincent mill-Wright, has built his career as a concerto: in three movements.

The first could be labelled "A discovery of the company". After taking care to complete his curriculum of agricultural engineer by a master of management at the ESSEC business school, former student of the Paris-Grignon INA and the Engref has begun in a subsidiary of Sanofi, eight years, he is interested in food additives. After a foray into the world of agricultural cooperatives, he returned with the industry in 2001 in what does was not yet Veolia but Vivendi environment. Recruited by the pole water engineering subsidiary to handle marketing "B to B" at the European level, it is then passed to the mother house, at the direction of the industrial, service markets it had with the Ambassador of the Group all trades alike: water, energy, transport... with its customers in the food industry. At the beginning of the year, however, the engineer of the GREF dropped this comfortable position to reach his original body. "The spirit of adventure is available," he said. Vincent mill-Wright did not leave for the world of the company: the eggs, which he has to take the reins, brings together hundreds of companies of all sizes, for a turnover of EUR 2.3 billion.

Non-profit involvement firmly instilled in the body

The second movement of the concerto's dominant theme its fidelity to the public service or to be more precise, his desire several times to be at the border of the public and the private sector. The passage by the French Confederation of agricultural cooperation (CFCA), where he put in place during the second half of the 1990s the quality certification program and environment AgriConfiance (now standard Afnor in 1999), was a first example. Arriving today at the controls of a professional organization is a second.

For the post of Director General of the eggs, the adherent companies needed an agronomist who has a good knowledge of the business, of course, but that is also an excellent Communicator and, above all, a man of network. Gold and this is the third and final movement of the concerto , Vincent mill-Wright a voluntary commitment firmly instilled in the body, and even address book. Passionate about policy it has well sink his old age in a City Hall or a General Council the third son of a Scottish and a Cévenol chaired for eight years the Association of former students of the INA - PG, created the meetings of the quai Voltaire (where the House of agricultural engineers), implemented the Uniagro Federation which includes some 45,000 engineers of living across the world and focused on the baptismal structure ParisTech Alumni, which brings together under one roof the associations of former students of schools as the X, CET or the Mines de Paris. These concentric circles patiently built around his person. A city as in house, Vincent mill-Wright has certainly not finished to hear his music.
