Food service and facilities management firm Sodexo North America announces Rohit Bahety as CFO
Sodexo has appointed Rohit Bahety as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Sodexo North America.
He will work in tandem with his predecessor, Sébastien de Tramasure, who has been appointed Group Chief Financial Officer, to ensure a smooth transition.
“This is an exciting opportunity for Sodexo’s North American leadership team as we welcome Rohit into his new role,” says Sodexo North America CEO, Sarosh Mistry.
“Rohit has spent the last 18 years of his career at Sodexo, most recently as CFO for the Campus and Government divisions. We’re grateful for his contributions to date and look forward to his governance as CFO for Sodexo’s North American business as a whole.”
In June 2006, Bahety began his career with Sodexo in India, transitioning from Abbott Healthcare.
He gained international experience as CFO of the Energy & Resource division in the UK&I from 2012 to 2015.
He then returned to India where he was promoted to CFO in 2015, later becoming India President in 2020. In 2022, he moved to the US, serving as CFO for the Campus and Government divisions.
Sodexo Live!
Sodexo Live!, the venue partner of Brighton & Hove Albion since 2013, has made a significant investment at the American Express Stadium, to enhance the experience for fans and guests alike.
Late last year saw the launch of a new retail store, the West Stand Tap, which is fully automated and allows guests to walk up, scan their payment device (card or phone), grab what they want and then walk out to complete their purchase.
The aim is to provide fans with a quick service retail solution that offers key items on matchday. Items available include a selection of beer, lager, cider, soft drinks and pies and sausage rolls from local favourite Piglet’s Pantry.
A fan event to test and trial the store was arranged and took place on 3rd December.
This was made up of approximately 60 supporters who got to try out the facility and share their thoughts and feedback ahead of the opening last week.
Feedback from supporters included: “very smart, very modern, very clean looking. Quite sophisticated”; And, “I think it’s going to benefit fans. I think this could really make it easier for those people to just go in, get their simple pies and pints and leave very quickly.”
Sodexo Live! has partnered with AiFi to develop and deliver the frictionless store.
The store and recently installed permanent fixed self-serve beer wall, (which was the first in Europe at a Premier League stadium) are a key part of the drive to provide fans with enhanced levels of experience, reduced queues and more time to enjoy their visits to the American Express Stadium.
