During today’s virtual Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGM), Accell revealed the proposed appointment of Ms. Francesca Gamboni as member of the Board of Management in the role of Chief Supply Chain Officer. Subsequently, the Supervisory Board appointed Francesca as per 1 February 2022.

Since 2016, Francesca has been Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain at Stellantis (the combination of former Group PSA and Fiat Chrysler) based in Paris. In this role she managed supply chain, sales and operations planning globally in a challenging context.
Before joining Stellantis Francesca held the position of Director Corporate Supply Chain and Operations, Nordic Region with L’Oreal. From 2009 through 2013 she served as VP Supply Chain at Renault-Nissan covering After Sales Logistics, Operations and Inbound Supply.
