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."
