Alain Dutheil Biography :

Born in 1945 in Martigues (France), Alain Dutheil is an Engineering graduate from the Ecole Superieure d'Ingenieurs of Marseilles, France.

He joined Texas Instruments in 1969 as a Production Engineer and then held several positions within this company, first as New Products Development Engineer in Dallas, Texas; then Engineering Manager; followed by Director for Discrete Products in France. In 1980, his attention to cultural issues outside strictly technical aspects, combined with his dedication to human relations and his interest in people management led to his appointment as Human Resources Director for Texas Instruments, France, followed by Director of Operations of Texas Instruments, Portugal. Dutheil joined Thomson Semiconducteurs in 1983 as Plant Manager of the Aix-en-Provence plant in France. He was later appointed General Manager for the Discrete Products Division, a position that he held until 1989, two years after the merger between the French company Thomson Semiconducteurs and the Italian manufacturer SGS Microelettronica that gave birth to the Franco-Italian group SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics (now STMicroelectronics).

Dutheil became Corporate Vice President of the Company in 1989 and combined the positions of Director of Corporate Human Resources and Director for Worldwide Back-End Manufacturing (four plants and 8000 people throughout the world, at that time). Five years later he relinquished his back-end manufacturing responsibilities to take on the challenge of the strategic direction of the company. In May 1994, Dutheil was appointed Corporate Vice President, Strategic Planning, in addition to his position as Corporate Vice President, Human Resources.

A firm believer of Total Quality Management (TQM) and employee development and training, Dutheil implemented an active TQM network and suggestion schemes throughout the world. He also created an innovative education tool for the company, the STMicroelectronics University (STU), based at Fuveau, France, with branches in Catania, Italy, Phoenix, USA, and Singapore. Since 1994, STU has trained around 30,000 employees of the company in both management and high-level technical disciplines.

Thanks to his deep experience in back-end activities, Dutheil also retains the responsibility of President of STS Microelectronics, the joint venture formed with Shenzen SEG Hi-Tech Industrial Co. (SHIC) in the People’s Republic of China, one of the key locations where assembly and test activities of the company are carried out. In July 2004, he joined the Board of Directors of MEDEA+, the pan-European Programme for advanced cooperative Research and Development in Microelectronics.

In April 2004, the Supervisory Board of STMicroelectronics endorsed Dutheil’s appointment as Chief Operating Officer reporting to the President and CEO, and that appointment was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the 2005 Annual General Meeting.

Additionally, Dutheil is the Vice Chairman of the ST Corporate Executive Committee, com-prised of six Executive Vice Presidents in addition to the COO and the CEO. He is also a member of the board of STMicroelectronics Japan and for 10 years was the President and CEO of STMicroelectronics SA, the French subsidiary of the Group.

On June 1, 2005, Alain Dutheil was named a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French government in recognition of his outstanding career in the service of science and industry.
