Stéphane Baumier

Stéphane Baumier serves as Chief Technology Officer at Canal+, the French pay-television giant and subsidiary of Vivendi that operates premium and themed channels across France and internationally. In this role he oversees the group's technology infrastructure, including broadcast systems, streaming platforms, set-top box ecosystems and the digital distribution of Canal+'s content portfolio — all of which are central to the group's ability to sell advertising inventory and subscription packages at scale. Baumier's career has been rooted in media technology and broadcast engineering, with a focus on the convergence of traditional pay-TV infrastructure and modern OTT streaming delivery. Canal+ has been undergoing significant digital transformation, expanding its myCanal streaming platform and pursuing international growth, and Baumier's technical leadership sits at the heart of that evolution. Given the relatively limited public profile maintained by Canal+ technology executives, granular details of his earlier career history and specific project milestones are not extensively documented in open sources. He is regarded internally as a senior technology operator responsible for aligning engineering capability with the group's strategic ambitions in a highly competitive European media landscape.
