20 Juli 2023 - 4:00PM
Sodexo, a leader in food service and facilities management for
schools across North America, announced the appointment of David
Newman as its new Chief Executive Officer for Sodexo At School in
the U.S. A proven international business leader with over two
decades of experience, Newman has successfully led enterprise
growth strategies through operational excellence, innovation and
the development of high performing teams. He takes over to lead
17,000+ team members who serve over 2.5 million students and guests
every day.
David Newman, most recently Sodexo SVP of Corporate Finance
globally, began taking over the leadership role in At School U.S.
in April. He also oversaw public-private partnerships, group
treasury, capital market operations, and chaired Sodexo Ventures.
Newman replaces outgoing CEO Stephen Dunmore who will stay on to
help with the transition through the end of August 2023 in an
advisory capacity.
“As we double down on pursuing our ambitious growth goals,
we’re thrilled to have David helm the Sodexo At School segment,”
said Sarosh Mistry, CEO for Sodexo North America. “He has an
outstanding track record in business development. With his
leadership and capabilities as well as the talents and engagement
of the Sodexo At School team, I am confident we will be successful
in accelerating our growth in the U.S.”
After serving Sodexo at a global level, Newman returns to his
native United States, based in Gaithersburg, at Sodexo’s North
America headquarters.
This evolution in leadership comes as a natural next step in the
continued growth story of Sodexo At School as it prepares for a
milestone year in North America. Under Stephen Dunmore’s direction,
Sodexo At School optimized services through organizational
restructuring and enhanced employee engagement.
“I am committed to the established partner relationships we
have with our clients,” said Mr. Newman. “We have a huge
opportunity for growing these partnerships and continuing the
transformation of students’ experience through their nutrition and
wellness.”
