Idemia Group has formed three divisions focused on secure transactions, public security and smart identity as part of a reorganization effort that seeks to accelerate growth, streamline operations and provide innovative platforms meant to address the needs of customers.
The company said Friday it named industry executives Philippe Oliva, Matthew Cole and Antoine Grenier as CEOs of each division and that Pierre Barrial will continue to serve as president and chief executive of Idemia Group.
