Orange Board of Directors co-opts Mouna Sepehri as new Director

The Orange Board of Directors today approved a proposal by the Committee for Governance and Social & Environmental Responsibility (CGRSE) to co-opt Mouna Sepehri as a new Director of the Board. Ms. Sepehri also takes on the chairmanship of the CGRSE.

She replaces Muriel Pénicaud, who resigned following her nomination as head of the entity resulting from the merger of AFII and Ubifrance. Mouna Sepehri's appointment will be proposed for ratification by shareholders at Orange's next General Meeting due to be held in May 2015.

In appointing Mouna Sepehri, the Board chose an individual with recognised skills in high-priority areas for the Group and reflects a strategy to have more international and female Board members.

The Board of Directors, which is chaired by the Orange group’s Chief Executive Officer Stéphane Richard, now includes 15 members.

In addition, the Board of Directors also decided to renew the mandate of Chief Executive Officer Delegate Gervais Pellissier, which was due to expire on 1 November 2014. This mandate will run for the same period as that of the Chairman and CEO.

Mouna Sepehri is a member of the Executive Committee and Director in charge of the CEO’s office in the Renault Group. She graduated with a law degree and is an attorney registered at the Paris Bar. She began practising law in 1990 in Paris and then New York where she specialized in mergers & acquisitions and international business law.

She joined Renault in 1996 as Deputy General Counsel for the group and worked on all the group's major global development projects. In 2007, she joined the CEO’s Office to manage Cross-Functional Teams. Since April 2011, she has been a member of the Renault group’s Executive Committee and, in this capacity, she runs the departments overseen by the general management function: Legal, Public Affairs, Communications, Corporate Social Responsibility, Real Estate & Facilities, Group Security and Protection, Cross-Functional Teams, and the Cost Efficiency Program.
