The Sodexo Board of Directors has announced the appointment of Thierry Delaporte as the group's Chief Executive Officer. This decision, made upon the recommendation of the Nominations Committee and in coordination with the Bellon family, aims to strengthen Sodexo's leadership for a new phase of development following Sophie Bellon's four-year tenure as CEO. With this change, the role of the Board Chair will be separated from that of the CEO. Sophie Bellon will now serve as the non-executive Chair of the Board and will oversee the transition with Thierry Delaporte.
