Avanthi will continue to serve. Avanthi will have matrix responsibility for Human Resources and

committee.

Pete Wharton-Hood said: "I am delighted to welcome both Avanthi and Joshila into their new positions.

gravitas and experience to their respective executive roles, as we gain momentum with the delivery
of our strategy."
