About Francoise MERCADAL DELASALLES

Françoise Mercadal-Delasalles is a French corporate leader whose career bridges public administration, banking leadership and digital transformation. She has served as an independent director of Atos SE since January 2, 2024, where she chairs the CSR Committee and sits on the Remuneration Committee. Atos has highlighted her expertise at the intersection of senior public service, private-sector leadership, digital transformation and sustainability. She was renewed as a director at the June 13, 2025 general meeting, underscoring shareholder confidence in her contribution to the board. Her professional path began in senior public service, first at the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance from 1988 to 1992, then at Caisse des Dépôts from 2002 to 2008. She joined Société Générale in 2008 as Director of Resources and Innovation, where she also served on the Group Executive Committee and led the organization’s digital transition agenda. In 2018, she became CEO of Crédit du Nord, a role in which she helped modernize the bank’s services, deploy digital tools more broadly and integrate environmental considerations into the business model. In 2023, she co-founded Auxo, an integrated platform focused on extra-financial data management and on supporting companies in their sustainability transitions. Beyond banking, Mercadal-Delasalles holds several non-executive board mandates, including at Eurazeo, and has co-chaired the French National Digital Council since 2021. This combination gives her a broad governance perspective spanning regulation, innovation, strategic transformation and ESG reporting. Her board profile is especially relevant in companies navigating complex change, where digital adoption, sustainability and stakeholder expectations must be aligned with long-term value creation. At Atos, her role is strategically important because the company is undergoing a major transformation and governance reset. Mercadal-Delasalles brings a mix of public-sector discipline, banking scale, digital execution and sustainability expertise that can help shape board oversight on responsible growth, risk management and corporate social responsibility. She is also a decorated civil servant, holding honors including the Légion d’honneur, which reinforces her institutional credibility and standing in French corporate governance circles.
