Alice Guéhennec, Chief Tech, Data, Digital, and Innovation Officer at Sodexo, awarded “Best CDIO” in the “Data & AI” category, by the 2024 DSIN

This award highlights Sodexo’s and Tech, Data, Digital and Innovation Teams’ dedication to leveraging the full potential of data and AI to enhance operational excellence and develop innovative solutions to continuously improve the experience of employees, clients, and consumers.

Through this award, the jury recognizes the relevance of Sodexo’s data governance as well as the diversity of its Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases.

The jury was especially impressed by the long-term data governance strategy through its Data-Centric program, which has established a common data language (Core-Data Model), a unified data storage and integration platform, and a shared governance framework across the Group, treating data as a valuable asset.

The jury also highlighted the variety of AI-driven use cases, structured around three key areas of innovation and progress, and benefiting:

  • On-site employees, enhancing operational efficiency by providing tools that help teams better respond to consumer requests.
  • Consumers, making their experience easier and faster, thanks to personalized journeys.
  • Clients, supporting business growth and CSR ambitions by offering transparent reporting on Sodexo’s operations and services.

"This award is a recognition of the commitment and outstanding work of Sodexo's Technology, Data, Digital, and Innovation team. Data and AI are now powerful drivers of our transformation, enabling us to innovate, anticipate needs, and deliver an ever more tailored experience to our employees, clients, and consumers."
