Tony Werner as new independent directors for a three-year term and decided to ratify the co-opted appointments of Ms. Laurence Lafont, Ms. Katleen Vandeweyer and M. Luis Martinez-Amago, and renewed  for a further three (3) years, the terms of office of Ms. Laurence Lafont and Ms. Katleen Vandeweyer who were due to expire at the close of the aforementioned meeting.

Ms. Karine Brunet is an accomplished Technology executive with 25 years' career in telecommunications and technology services.

She then joined Alcatel as Vice President to set up the ICT European delivery model and develop their offshore and onshore capabilities.

Attracted by her experience in restructuring, Steria (now SopraSteria) approached Karine Brunet in 2006. After several promotions, she became IT Services Line Director and member of the Executive Committee, responsible for defining the strategy for all IT service lines of the company.

She left Steria after nearly 7 years to join Vodafone where she spent nearly 6 years as Technology Shared Services Director for the UK Telecom operator.
