"I like taking people on its head," he said in the interview. A posture that it has plenty in the dinners in the city, when each is so often in his verse on an oil industry decried and in which he worked for twenty-three years. "When I came in Shell, in 1986, were already yelling haro on oil", tells of one who is now paid to defend the image of the sector: after four years in the position of Director logistics and distribution of the French Union of petroleum industries (Ufip), he has indeed to be promoted to forty-seven years Commissioner General.
It is Christian Balmes, then President of the Ufip, and also President and CEO of Shell France, in 2005, making the link between the French expatriates in London and the Professional Union of avenue Hoche. Father of six children of whom the eldest was admitted in math sup to Louis-le-Grand, Olivier Gantois and his wife Marie-Christine - "my topic of conversation favorite", he said pleasantly - had made the choice to return in France with their daughter. A choice that he did not have to regret since then, and this for two reasons. The first and the most important in his eyes is that brilliant daughter, already winner of the general competition from latin, has, at the end of his Mole, integrated Polytechnique, thus becoming the first of the two "Xettes" of the family since his youngest daughter also comes to succeed this difficult competition...
An ethical dimension
The second reason is more directly. Party in the Ufip too know what it was going to find, the defector from Shell discovered a strengthened and effective team, and folders technical but exciting. The rise of biofuels, with their batch of logistical and regulatory constraints, but also the development of energy saving certificates occupied it full-time for four years, with the added bonus of the satisfaction of work towards the establishment of a virtuous device. An ethical dimension that is devine crucial in this devout Roman Catholic, very involved in the activities of the parish of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés and great reader of books on spirituality and re li region.
On leaving the X, in 1986, this familiar attracted to chemistry preferred "School of life" at a school of application and was redeeming his slipper shell. A first post of trader in Paris, followed four years at Rouen as an economist and the refinery for Petit-Crown driver the prepare in 1995 to carry out its first managerial responsibilities dans subsidiary Butagaz, first as head of procurement and distribution. In 2001, Shell sends it to London managing the team in charge of all European refinery crude supply. The opportunity to plunge back into the frenzied atmosphere of a trading room, in which the cell was submerged, and engage in these learned math that it both like to minimize the negative impact of changing prices on the margin.
Apart from this London parenthesis, Olivier Gantois has never been stationed abroad, in contrast to his colleagues in the exploration-production crisscrossing the planet. But it was not frustrated by this relative physical inactivity: "my adventure to me, these are my six children."
