XAVIER AYMONOD

AGE 46  I  PARIS, FRANCE  I  FRANCE
MARKETING DIRECTOR – PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

A science and technology graduate of France’s prestigious École Polytechnique, Xavier Aymonod has built a career as an international public transportation specialist with a passion for sustainable and smart mobility. Currently customer director for Transdev, he balances work responsibilities with his family life (his children are 10 and 12 years old) and his love for traveling, running, golf, wine, and—of course—music. His piano studies began early at the Aix-en-Provence Conservatory, and his commitment hasn’t waned in adulthood: he is a laureate of many international amateur competitions—including a third-place finish at the 2016 Cliburn Amateur; has performed in France, Germany, Russia, South Africa, and the United States; and works in transcriptions and composition.
