She was Head of the Mergers Unit since the creation of the Autorité de la concurrence in March 2009.

The entire staff acknowledges Nadine Mouy’s remarkable sense of public service, as well as her professionalism and expertise, and wishes her every success in her future assignments.

After spending three years (2004-2006) in a Brussels law firm, Simon Genevaz joined the Conseil de la concurrence in 2006 as Case Officer; in 2010 he was appointed Deputy Head of the Mergers Unit where he has been working, alongside Gwenaëlle Nouët, since October 2010. In his several positions at the Autorité de la concurrence, he focused on antitrust issues facing recently liberalized markets (handling several cases in the energy sector) and on mergers in the media, food retail and IT sectors.
