Yanick Garillion

Company: Qatari DiarVinci Construction (QDVC) 
Position: CEO

Yanick Garillion is CEO of QDVC, a general contracting company established in 2007 that is owned 51 per cent by Qatari Diar and 49 per cent by France’s Vinci Construction Grands Projets (VCGP). Garillion leads these efforts from Qatar, where he first moved in 2008.

Before this, he was the Dubai-based area manager for Gulf countries for VCGP, having already led its considerable operations in Egypt. Garillion spent seven years on the Cairo metro Line 2 project between 1993 and 2000. This was not his first time in Egypt, however, as he had been sent to the country in 1985 as part of his military service, and stayed on working for Vinci subsidiary SGE.

This saw Garillion work on Line 1 of the metro and a range of other schemes, before spending time in Hong Kong. Garillion graduated from France’s L’Ecole Des Grand Projets in 1984.
