25 digital transformations in 6 years: Bel Group's overhaul — Keynote by Elisabeth Ellison-Davis - Group Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer at Tech For Industry Show 2026 (Paris Expo Porte de Versailles).
How does a €4 billion food group with 11,000 employees transform its entire digital DNA? The cheesemaker behind The Laughing Cow and Babybel has launched 25 major digital transformations covering every function and every market.
Key topics: replacing 650 legacy platforms with a single interconnected core (ERP, PLM, MES); building data foundations from scratch (team grown from 5 to 55 people); mapping processes that until recently existed "only in employees' minds" (100 Business Process Owners deployed); and accelerating AI while simultaneously laying the very foundations AI needs to work.
The guiding thread, claimed without compromise: reconciling sustainability and profitability, in service of a sustainable food system. Supported by Dassault Systèmes and Accenture.
