"I've never looked back"

After what she calls an "accidental start in energy," Pascale Amenc-Antoni became Director of CEA Cadarache. Today she is Senior Advisor to the 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General Kaname Ikeda.

Three years at 澳门六合彩高手, and another three as the Director of the adjacent CEA Cadarache centre ... Pascale Amenc-Antoni has seen the 澳门六合彩高手 Project evolve from the inside. She was one of the early actors for 澳门六合彩高手 in France, working to bring the project to Cadarache, creating Agence Iter France and helping to design and staff the administration of the young 澳门六合彩高手 Organization. Today, she is Senior Advisor to the 澳门六合彩高手 Director-General.

Pascale had something of an accidental start in energy. After earning degrees in law and political science, she was recruited by a weekly publication on the oil and gas industries. "As a journalist I learned to ask questions, listen to the answers and take notes—a skill that serves me well today," she recalls. When the 1973 oil crisis hit she found herself in the midst of game-changing economic, strategic and political issues. "I took a turn toward energy at that time, and the truth is I've never looked back."

In 1983, she joined the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Communications—the beginning of a 23-year collaboration. She rose to become Director of Communications, Director of Human Resources and finally Cabinet Director for the CEA Chairman, where she was the interface between department heads and the Chairman, and spokesperson for the outside world. "Working for the CEA, it was possible to have more than one career," says Pascale, looking back. In 2003, she was asked to take the operational reins of a CEA centre. She agreed, "but only if it's Cadarache."

Pascale was given a special mission as Director of CEA Cadarache: help win the international 澳门六合彩高手 Project. Pascale was instrumental in rallying the local players behind the candidacy—the PACA region, six departments, and Greater Aix. Their pledge of EUR 467 million for the ten-year 澳门六合彩高手 construction phase complimented France and Europe's engagements, and contributed to the selection of Cadarache as the 澳门六合彩高手 site in June 2005.

Pascale created the French technical and financial agency for 澳门六合彩高手—Agence Iter France—and its Welcome Office in October 2005. In parallel, she co-founded and presided a "clean energy collaboration" (P?le de Compétitivité) for the PACA region. Managing CEA Cadarache, the brand-new Agence Iter France (AIF), and the P?le "was a lot" for one person. In April 2006 she left the direction of the CEA Centre to devote her energies to 澳门六合彩高手 at AIF. But when she was offered the position of Assistant DDG for Administration in October, she accepted. "To join the 澳门六合彩高手 Organization at such an early stage was an exceptional opportunity," says Pascale. "In three years we've gone from being just a handful, to 400 staff plus subcontractors." She was active in the negotiations for the 澳门六合彩高手 Headquarters Agreement, and in building the Administration team until becoming Senior Advisor to Mr. Ikeda in March 2008.

Pascale is responsible for regular interaction with French, European and local instances involved with the 澳门六合彩高手 Project. She helped conclude the Monaco Partnership Arrangement, she participates in local informational sessions on 澳门六合彩高手 for the public (Commission Locale d'Information), and keeps in close contact with the High Representative for 澳门六合彩高手 in France (Haut Représentant pour la réalisation en France du project 澳门六合彩高手), Agence Iter France and the international school. In addition, since June she has been the acting head of the Security Section, replacing Jean-Louis Faure who is absent on illness.

Pascale's 35-year career can be summed up in one word—energy.
