With this in mind, Marianna van Kempen has been appointed Development Director of the South Region of Spie Batignolles Paysage. In this capacity, she joins the management committee under the direction of Caroline Barth, General Director of the landscape branch of the Spie Batignolles group.

A graduate of Sciences Po Paris, Marianna van Kempen spent most of her career at Spie Batignolles.

Since October 2023, back within the Spie Batignolles group, Marianna van Kempen has been supporting the various South Spie Batignolles landscape agencies in the organic development of their activities and in the integration within Spie Batignolles.

The recent acquisitions of Pépinières du Languedoc in Toulouse in 2022 and Jardins de Solev in Carpentras in 2023 already make up this scope of activity and Marianna van Kempen will also have the mission of continuing the external growth strategy in the region.

For Caroline Barth, general director: “The arrival of Marianna van Kempen marks a new stage in our organization and in the deployment of our strategy to achieve our growth and development objectives in the Southern region. For two years, Spie Batignolles Paysage has regularly positioned itself in new territories. In order to continue this ambitious development, we must foster dialogue with local economic players and together create a real collective dynamic in order to preserve our ecosystems and attract a young generation whose environmental convictions are strong to our professions. We therefore continue to look for innovative SMEs who wish to join the Spie Batignolles Paysage adventure in the region and bring their uniqueness and expertise to this rapidly expanding entity. »
