Directorate Change: Appointment of Non-Executive
Directors
Rentokil Initial plc (FTSE: RTO, NYSE: RTO, "the Company") today
announces the appointment of two new Non-Executive Directors,
effective 1 June, 2025.
These appointments will strengthen the Board by adding recent
leadership experience in North American multi-site
business-to-business and business-to-consumer companies, as well as
adding deep expertise in brand building, consumer marketing and
digital customer acquisition.
Leanne Sheraton most
recently served as Chief Marketing Officer (2022 - 2024) for PayPal
Holdings, Inc., a global leader in fintech. Leanne was responsible
for leading marketing across all of PayPal's brands and transformed
the marketing function into a growth engine for the organisation.
She introduced new channels, capabilities and partnerships, driving
a step change in new customer acquisition and growth in customer
value. Leanne began her extensive career with PayPal in 2013,
joining as Director of Marketing and going on to hold a number of
leadership roles over the next decade. Prior to PayPal, Leanne held
leadership roles in Marketing and Sales for global brands including
Nestle, Yahoo and Qantas.
Sam Mitchell is the former
Chief Executive Officer of Valvoline Inc. (2016 - 2023). Valvoline
is the North American leader in automotive maintenance and operates
and franchises more than 2,000 locations across the US and Canada.
Sam served as President of Valvoline since 2002 and led Valvoline's
spin out from Ashland Inc through its IPO on the NYSE in 2016. Sam
joined Ashland in 1997 and his experience includes
marketing, brand management and general
management.
Rentokil Initial is also announcing today that two current
Non-Executive Directors will be stepping down from the Board. Linda
Yueh enters her ninth year of service with the Company in 2025 and
will not be standing for re-election as a Non-Executive Director at
the 2026 AGM. Due to demands on his time, Sarosh Mistry has decided
to step down as a Non-Executive Director on 31 July
2025.
Richard Solomons, Chair, said:
"I am delighted to welcome Leanne and Sam to the Board as
Non-Executive Directors. They bring significant experience in
marketing, brand development, digital customer acquisition
strategies, and leadership of multi-site businesses in the North
American market. Their skills and experience will greatly
benefit the Board and support our management team as they execute
our plans, particularly in North America.
"I would also like to thank Linda and Sarosh for their commitment
and dedication to Rentokil Initial and their valuable advice
and counsel during their time on the Board."
Sam Mitchell will become a member of the Audit Committee and Leanne
Sheraton will become a member of the Remuneration Committee. Both
new Non-Executive Directors will join the Nomination
Committee.
