On Monday, Villa Masséna welcomed Christian Tordo, who received the Insignia of Officer of the Order of Merit, in the presence of Christian Estrosi, Mayor of Nice, and Jean-François Carenco, Chairman of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
A Knight in the National Order of Merit, after more than 10 years serving the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis, Christian Tordo received the Merit medal from the hands of Jean-François Carenco, Chairman of the Energy Regulatory Commission. This honor is to reward the man with multiple hats for his involvement within the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis. “A life in the service of others, in the service of our territory, and I would also say in the service of the greatness of our country,” expressed Christian Estrosi during a laudatory speech about Christian Tordo.
From Industrialist to Politician
Born in Nice, Christian Tordo graduated from HEC Paris. He joined Texas Instrument France in 1977 and undertook various responsibilities in its French and international subsidiaries. From 1994 to 2014, he was the General Manager and Finance Director for Europe of this large internationally renowned group, a position he held for 20 years. Starting in 2008, he chose to put his expertise and skills at the service of the prominence of Nice Côte d’Azur alongside Christian Estrosi, working particularly on the great Nice Eco-Vallée project, where he served as vice-president after being president from 2009 to 2016.
Christian Tordo is currently Deputy Mayor of Nice responsible for the economy, industry, digital technology, real estate, and urban planning, as well as President of the employment and economic development commission at the Nice Côte d’Azur Metropolis.
Thus, hand in hand, Christian Estrosi and Christian Tordo, within the Metropolis, continue to work on ecology, digital technology, and of course, the economy.
