The Nations selected Ludwig Decamps as General Manager of the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCI Agency) in Brussels, Belgium, effective 1 July 2021. Decamps first joined the NCI Agency as Director of Demand Management in 2017 and, shortly after, became a full-time Chief Operating Officer (COO). As COO, he was responsible for aligning demand and supply to create customer value by leading business planning, prioritizing incoming requests, leading life-cycle business development, and overseeing resource allocation to projects and services.
Before his position as Director of Demand Management, Decamps served as Director for Armaments and Aerospace Capabilities and Director for Strategy in the Defence Investment Division at NATO Headquarters. In that capacity, he led a Joint Civil Military Team in support of the Secretary General’s Smart Defence initiative, introduced a Total System Approach to military aviation and promoted multinational armaments cooperation, in particular NATO’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) and Joint Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (JISR) programmes.
Over ten years, Decamps held several roles across NATO.
