The appointment is subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on March 28, 2013.
François Béharel joined VediorBis as a Regional Director in 1999. He had just become CEO of the Vedior group in France when he was appointed President and CEO of the new combined Randstad Group France in 2009.
Fritz Fröhlich, chairman of the Supervisory Board, comments: "We are very pleased to announce the proposed appointment of François Béharel as a member of the Executive Board. His track record as President and CEO of the largest European operating company and one of Randstad's largest professionals businesses in Europe has been impressive and we look forward to his future contributions to the company."
This appointment follows the agreement that Brian Wilkinson will step down as a member of the Executive Board.
