CONTEXT

Since 2016 (COMPANY NAME) has embarked in a deep transformation exercise:
* A strategic growth plan (called "Next Frontier" and "Beyond"), setting precise growth objectives and levers, per country, per zone and at group level
* An acceleration of (COMPANY NAME)'s transition to Digital, in its product & service offer, in its core processes and in its IT organization
* A much stronger focus on go-to-market strategies, product marketing and customer marketing
* A rebranding exercise, to better formulate its mission to the outer world
* A proactive diversification strategy: new spending categories, new geographies, new user segments

As of January 2022, (COMPANY NAME) reorganized in 3 Business Lines, with the Benefits and Engagement
Business Line accounting for 65% of (COMPANY NAME) Group results with geographical presence in:
* EMEA (20 countries), including France, Italy, Romania
* Latin America, notably Brazil
* USA, UK and Australia, notably through the acquisition of Reward Gateway in 2023

In October 2022, (COMPANY NAME) revealed its Beyond 22-25 strategy for the Group, and for the Employee Benefits Division which is set on 3 strategic priorities:

1) Scale the Core: in particular Meal & Food solutions. (COMPANY NAME) is the worldwide leader in Employee Benefits, with growth to continue to be fuelled by further penetrating its core markets, through more acquisitions (SME penetration, web-sales and indirect sales), more engagement (innovation and best-in-class customer experience) and more monetisation (pricing & value-added services)

2) Accelerate Beyond Food: Leveraging (COMPANY NAME)'s platform advantage to aggregate new benefits (e.g., mobility, as illustrated by their Betterway acquisition in France), building on each country's local tax and regulatory environment.

3) Expand in New Businesses: Focusing on Engagement solutions and growth in the US market, especially through M&A
In 2023, in line with this Beyond Strategy, (COMPANY NAME) acquired GOintegro and Reward Gateway, 2 leadings Employee Engagement providers to materialize this vision.

By widening its Employee Savings offer, integrating new services such as well-being, and expanding its value proposition to Rewards & Recognition solutions, GOintegro and Reward Gateway provide (COMPANY NAME) with a unique opportunity to further accelerate in Beyond Food while enlarging its footprint by entering new promising and fast-growing markets.
Within Employee Benefits, the Strategy team is in charge of:
