She also serves as a member of Sodexo’s Board of Directors, underscoring her importance within the governance of the French family-controlled group. Her career reflects a long-term build-up of expertise in premium services, live experiences and customer-facing operations.

By 2015, she was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Sodexo’s Sports and Leisure business in France and on-site services, later taking on broader international responsibilities. These appointments placed her at the intersection of hospitality, venue management, commercial development and operational excellence. A major milestone in her career came in 2021, when Sodexo launched Sodexo Live! as a unified global brand to bring together the Group’s expertise in sports, events and hospitality. The initiative was designed to strengthen international visibility, accelerate growth in priority markets and enhance the company’s ability to deliver tailor-made services for clients and guests. At the time, Sodexo emphasized the strength of its global teams and the company’s ambition to create memorable live experiences across a broad portfolio of venues and events. She has also been closely associated with Sodexo’s culinary and prestige assets, including Le Jules Verne and Le Pré Catelan, two iconic restaurants recognized by the Michelin Guide. Her public role in highlighting those achievements illustrates a management style that combines brand stewardship, operational rigor and a strong appreciation for excellence in gastronomy and service. More broadly, Nathalie Bellon-Szabo represents the kind of executive profile that is essential in premium hospitality: commercially driven, internationally minded, highly attentive to customer experience, and able to translate strategic ambition into recognizable, value-creating operations.
