A graduate of the Solvay Business School (Université libre de Bruxelles), Jean Paul Philippot is CEO of RTBF (Radio-Télévision belge de la Communauté française).
He entered the audiovisual world in 2002, after holding the position of Managing Director of Brussels Public Hospitals (IRIS). Jean-Paul Philippot has initiated three strategic reorganization plans at RTBF (in 2002, 2007 and 2012).
In 2018, he launched a vast transformation plan for RTBF, to move from vertical structures based on TV, Radio and Web to an audience-centric model adapted to changing consumption patterns.
RTBF's new strategic plan “RTBF27” accelerates this trajectory, with a view to strengthening RTBF's contribution to society, fostering editorial innovation, and ensuring direct contact with all RTBF’s audiences.
Jean-Paul Philippot was president of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) from 2009 to 2018 and president of Médias Francophones Publics (MFP) from 2021 to the end of January 2025.
