At I&I Strategy
The engineer who learned to speak to boards.
Le Roux trained as an engineer at the Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux and spent his first decade inside control systems, trading floors and critical infrastructure. He led instrumentation architecture at the French Atomic Energy Commission, advised the security operations centre of Électricité de France, and ran NERC CIP compliance across 34,000 kilometres of Hydro-Québec transmission lines.
He co-founded I&I Strategy in 2014 with Marc Bagur, on a simple thesis: technical risk is worthless to an executive until someone translates it into a decision. At I&I he led corporate threat-risk assessment and security strategy mandates for Morgan Stanley, BNP Paribas, PSP Investments and Areva, and set the standard the firm still runs on: senior people only, no bench, no filler.
At Morgan Stanley his analysis on cloud vendor security posture was escalated to the global CISO and forwarded to the firm's CIO. At Motorola Solutions he was lead auditor on an 80 million dollar programme across the government and public safety division.
