PARIS-Vivendi SA (VIV.FR) Tuesday said Katie Jacobs Stanton, a
top executive at Twitter Inc. (TWTR), is set to join the group's
supervisory board.
Ms. Jacobs Stanton has been in charge of international
development at Twitter since 2010 and recently moved to Paris. She
has also worked as a special advisor to the U.S. State Department
and worked for Google Inc. (GOOGL) between 1999 and 2009.
Ms. Jacobs Stanton's nomination will be put before shareholders
at a general meeting in June. The appointments of Vincent Bollore
as chairman and Arnaud de Puyfontaine as chief executive will also
be confirmed at the meeting.
The Paris-based conglomerate has completed a number of asset
sales as it seeks to focus on media and content assets. Over the
past two years Vivendi has sold off major assets, French phone firm
SFR and video-game company Activision Blizzard.
