Annual General Meeting in 2026. Over the next year, he will specifically focus
on employee engagement and support a smooth transition.

Group Finance Director of Senior plc, a FTSE 250 international manufacturing
and engineering group. She also serves as the Senior Independent Director of

Foods, the European frozen food leader, listed on the NYSE. Prior to that, he
spent nearly 30 years at Procter & Gamble, including Senior executive
leadership roles in core global categories in Finance and General Management,
