Biography

General (Ret) Philippe Lavigne 

From fighter pilot to commander of the French Fighter Air Force, General (Ret) Philippe Lavigne has seen action in numerous operations, including in the Middle East, Balkans, and Afghanistan, and participated in various international exercises. His career spans positions in the joint headquarters for operational planning (J5), where he honed his understanding of military strategies, essential skills, and the “win-as-a-Team” spirit.

Serving as the French Secretary General for Defence and Security, he gained critical insights into inter-agency cooperation, crucial for today’s resilience strategies.

As Chief of Staff of the French Air and Space Force, General Lavigne spearheaded the creation and implementation of a forward-looking strategy, maintaining air superiority, fostering innovation, and integrating space operations to meet joint military requirements.

As Supreme Allied Commander for NATO Transformation (SACT), he tackled the challenges of a rapidly changing global environment, promoting the ‘one for all and all for one’ mindset, and ensuring NATO’s readiness to deter and defend across physical, psychological, and virtual domains. His focus on integrating emerging and disruptive technologies has been instrumental in enhancing civil-military and private-public cooperation.
