Dublin, 3 February 2022 – Expleo announces that it has appointed Xavier de Bustos as its director for life sciences and engineering, research and development (ERD). Xavier will be responsible for bringing engineering excellence to digitally transforming businesses, while also expanding Expleo’s market share in Ireland’s life sciences sector.
As businesses’ digital transformation journeys evolve, they are setting themselves apart not only through digital prowess but also through the application of game-changing engineering solutions.

The convergence of IT and OT will be a major focus area for Expleo in Ireland, and Xavier is currently building a team to support its success.
Xavier will also lead Expleo’s life sciences practice in Ireland, contributing to the company’s rapid global growth in the sector. He will work alongside domestic and international life sciences companies, helping them to excel in R&D and innovation; digital manufacturing and operational excellence; and quality assurance and regulatory affairs.
Prior to joining Expleo, Xavier was director of life sciences for Capgemini for one year. He also ran his own innovation and management consulting firm, Nathema, for 10 years.
