Speaker : Boris DOLLEY
He developed a rare 25+ cross-domain expertise within RTE (French High-Voltage Electricity Grid Operator) combining software engineering, open-source leadership, procurement strategy, and digital-sovereignty vision.
He began his career as a software developer industrializing the load shedding software on a Linux base and moved into IT project leadership, overseeing data-exchange systems, secure remote-access tools, and early Green IT initiatives.
As a company-wide trainer, he coached thousands of employees—from board members to field technicians—gaining a deep understanding of operational realities.
He then shifted into procurement management, mastering contractual, regulatory, and IP dimensions. Identifying a strategic opportunity, he co-created a new software engineering department, hiring ~100 developers and open-sourcing key grid-critical tools within LF Energy.
He now serves in RTE’s R&D executive leadership as Director of the Open Source Program Office and lead for Responsible Digital Strategy.
