He gained important experience in recruitment and selection as well as in negotiating innovative salary and benefits packages and supporting diverse restructuring plans in Europe.

Following on from his experience in Electrical Machines, Mr Baril then became Managing Director Europe, Human Resources for GE (General Electric) at their Belfort Headquarters in 1998 and from December 2000 he was Vice President Human Resources of Alcatel Space at their headquarters in Toulouse.
