"I am pleased to welcome Sophie Stabile to the
Board. Sophie has held senior roles at AccorHotels, a leading
multinational hotel group, including serving as global CFO and then
as Managing Director of AccorHotels France and Switzerland. Her
financial acumen, operational expertise and deep service sector
experience will bring an important external perspective to our
strategic decisions. Sophie Stabile also joins the Audit
committee.
I want to sincerely thank both Patricia and Michel
for their dedication to the Board of Directors. Patricia has been a
Board member for more than 13 years, providing an important North
American perspective to our global company. I also want to pay a
special tribute to Michel for his immense contribution to Sodexo as
our CEO since 2005 and more recently supporting Denis Machuel as he
was transitioning to his new role as CEO. On behalf of the Board, I
wish them all the best in their future personal journeys."
