Safran has named Daniela Schwarzer as an independent director, effective 1 July 2026, after Patricia Bellinger stepped down from the board and the Appointments and Compensation Committee for family reasons.
Schwarzer will serve the balance of Bellinger’s term through the end of the 2028 Annual General Meeting, with shareholder approval still due at the 2027 AGM. Safran said the board’s independence ratio remains 66.7% and gender balance stays at 50%. The move also follows the appointment of Chloé Raison as French State Representative, replacing Céline Fornaro.
The board keeps its governance mix intact, but the 2027 vote will formalise the transition.
