Yes, his appointment was “rich in emotions”. Especially since Virginia Bernoux is one of the rare women to reach such a level of responsibility in real estate development. But the new president of the management board of Ogic was ready. Ready to succeed Mireille Vernerey, with whom she prepared this handover for two years. And ready to contribute to the development of the group, founded more than 50 years ago, which exceeded half a billion euros in turnover in 2021.
Driven by “this record year”, the engineer, a former employee of Eiffage, Cogedim and Kaufman, tackles her challenges with unfeigned desire. Namely boosting business real estate, an activity which, for the time being, is mainly concentrated in Ile-de-France and weighs ten times less than housing at Ogic. She is also keen to provide the group, already present in Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Nice and Annecy, with new branches, starting with Toulouse by the end of the year.
