General counsel | Bouygues Telecom
One of France’s largest telecommunications companies, Bouygues Telecom offers a diverse variety of products and services including fibre boxes, televisions, internet networks, and recharge packages, as well as recycling services....
Arnold van Eeckhout joined Bouygues group in 1993 and was appointed to the position of general counsel and member of the general management committee in 1995. He has worked on many significant international projects and has played a vital role in facilitating the company’s growth within the telecoms industry. Among his many contributions to the company, van Eeckhout’s work in the field of competition law has been particularly impressive. In 2007 he successfully pursued an unlikely $140m damages claim against Tekelec in the US, an outcome that was doubted by many. In 2014 van Eeckhout worked closely with Bouygues’ senior management to support preliminary bid for Vivendi owned telecoms company SFR and reached an agreement with French mobile broadband company Free.
