Sanofi’s Board of Directors has proposed appointing Christel Heydemann as an independent director at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for April 29, 2026. The board also proposed renewing the mandates of existing directors Christophe Babule and Jean-Paul Kress.

Heydemann currently serves as CEO of Orange Group and previously held leadership roles at Schneider Electric and Alcatel-Lucent. She is a graduate of Ecole Polytechnique and Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees. The Sanofi board currently consists of 16 members, including two employee representatives, with 57% women representation excluding employee representatives.
