Directors and officers of THALES
Four of the 5 officer records shown for THALES are current appointments, filed with INPI (Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle). Anne-claire Taittinger, Valerie Maudet and Marianna Nitsch all serve as Administrator; Pricewaterhousecoopers Audit serves as Statutory Auditor. The remaining 1 record shown (Marko Erman) is a former appointment that has since been resigned. Management authority at THALES sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control. The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Data availability
The register reports 34 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.

Data availability
Those 63 subsidiaries span France, Nigeria, South Korea, United States, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and 20 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 25 of the 63 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
