"I am delighted to welcome Jo Bertram as a Non-Executive
Director. She is a highly talented strategic business leader whose
broad experience in technology-led sectors will bring fresh
perspective to the Board. She has worked in growing, hi-tech
sectors and I am confident this will benefit our customers as we
explore new ways to use digital solutions to make shopping easy and
convenient. She has significant experience leading transformation

continue to adapt at pace to put food back at the heart of what we
do."
Jo Bertram said:
"Working in fast-paced, agile environments is something I enjoy
so I am very pleased to be joining Sainsbury's at such an exciting
time. The Sainsbury's brand is one I have always admired, and I
look forward to bringing my experience to the business and working
together with the Board to help drive forward the company's digital
and transformation agenda."
Commenting on Dame Susan Rice stepping down, Martin Scicluna
added:
"I would like to thank Susan for her commitment and dedication
to Sainsbury's. Throughout her time with us she has been steadfast
in doing the right thing for our customers and colleagues. As Chair
of the Remuneration Committee Susan has played a vital role in
ensuring our approach to pay reflects our culture and values at all
levels of the organisation. She has been a great support to me and
I wish her all the very best in her future endeavours."
