Pierre Choux

Founder & Chairman

“GROUPE ID’EES was set up and developed on the belief that a company could be the best place for social and professional integration. Embarking on a project working for the interests of the wider community supported by social actors as well as the spirit of accountability and professionalism of an entrepreneur is certainly what has made GROUPE ID’EES what it is today. I believe these are the strengths that Bruno Rousset and Evolem have contributed. This meeting of minds surely built the foundation of our relationship that has grown stronger and deeper. Trust and transparency are now integral to the way we work. Evolem is constantly bringing us important advice, but also reflects the way we want to grow: maintain a dynamic balance between the social and economic dimension that must remain the cornerstone of GROUPE ID’EES.” In 2013, his son Patrick Choux was appointed Managing Director of GROUPE ID’EES.
