Orange’s board of directors has appointed a new director, Christel Heydemann, by co-optation following a proposal by the Governance and Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Committee.
She will replace José Luis Duran, director since 2008, who resigned after being appointed as CEO of Value Retail PLC and due to his functions as a member of the board of directors of Inditex and Mars Inc.
Christel Heydemann’s appointment will be submitted for ratification at the Orange Group’s next annual general meeting in May 2018.
The Board of Directors now comprises 15 members, including seven women, centred around Stéphane Richard, Orange Chairman and CEO.
Christel Heydemann is EVP France Operations at Schneider Electric and a member of the Schneider Electric Executive Committee since April 2017.
