Biographie : After spending the early part of his career working in hydraulics for BRL in France and abroad, Alix Roumagnac realized that, following the major floods of 1999 in the Aude region and 2002 in the Gard region, mayors needed real-time assistance in the face of events. With the support of Météo France, Airbus D&S and BRL, he launched the Predict initiative in 2003 to provide local authorities with close support during the crisis. The company was officially created in 2006 as a subsidiary of its three historical partners. With over 20 years' experience and increasingly innovative solutions for anticipating and managing climate risks, the company now has 40 employees providing 24/7 assistance to its users in France and abroad, and sales of 7.5 million euros (2024). By way of example, more than 20,000 local authorities, 20 million private individuals and several hundred companies are supported on a daily basis. Recognized as an expert in climate risk management, Alix Roumagnac is also regularly called upon by international organizations such as the World Bank, the UN and the European Commission to share his expertise with institutional players, in favor of a better prepared and more resilient world.. |
