Christophe MARTIN leaves IFF on October 1st to take up a new position at SNCF. It is in these terms that he announces his departure: “The time has come for me to turn the page on a wonderful human adventure. I would like to thank all those who placed their trust in me in 2017 by allowing me to take up this post, and to thank you for the sharing, cooperation and exchange that have enabled the IFF to grow”.
Five years on the IFF board have been full of events: ISO 21001 certification, digitalisation of training, overcoming the COVID crisis, development of partnerships with institutes and railway networks, organisation of the UIC WCRT2019 congress and more…

Raphaël RABIER takes over the position of General Manager at IFF. A graduate of the University of Lille and with a master’s degree from EDHEC Business School, this railwayman has held several positions at SNCF since 1985 and has worked in the “Operations” and “Traction” professions, finishing in 2017 as HR Director of the TER Business Unit in Hauts-de-France.

The decision was endorsed by the IFF Supervisory Board held in Rabat on September 27th, followed by a convivial reception to thank Christophe and welcome Raphaël.
