The Board of Directors of bpost further strengthens its governance and proposes two new independent directors to be appointed by the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

The Board of Directors of bpost NV/SA is following a professional process under the leadership of its Remuneration and Nomination Committee to further strengthen its governance.

Upon recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors of bpost NV/SA proposes to the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of May 12, 2021 to appoint Mr. Lionel Desclée and Ms. Sonja Willems as independent directors for a term of 4 years.

  • Mr. Lionel Desclée is a Senior VP & Walmart Officer and was President and CEO of Walmart Japan/Seiyu until March 2021. Before that he was President and CEO of Tom & Co.
