France-based construction company Vinci Construction has appointed Patrick Sulliot as its new chairman.

It is the latest change at the top of construction and concessions giant Vinci. In May, the company announced that Pierre Anjolras, who was appointed chairman of Vinci Construction in 2021, would become Vinci’s new chief operating officer.

Anjolras reports to chairman and chief executive officer Xavier Huillard as part of a succession plan as Huillard’s term of office comes to an end in 2025.

Sulliot, who was born in 1959, and joined what became Vinci subsidiary Eurovia in 1984 as a construction engineer in his native France.

He oversaw the Paris then Lyon business units, became director of the Rhône-Alpes region then deputy director of the Rhône-Alpes Auvergne region in 2000, and moved to Eurovia Limited in the United Kingdom as deputy managing director in 2007.

He was appointed managing director for the Americas in 2012 then managing director for the Americas and United Kingdom, and to Eurovia’s Executive Committee, in 2015.

In 2021, Sulliot became Vinci Construction’s CEO Americas and Oceania, which encompasses its subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand and United States.

In January 2024, he was appointed chief operating officer of VINCI Construction in charge of international proximity networks (Europe Africa, United Kingdom, Americas Oceania) and of digital transformation.
