Former Dell Exec to Lead Inspirus and Sodexo USA

A former technology and HR exec, Tatiana Frierson is now both CEO of Inspirus and Sodexo Benefits and Rewards Services USA.
 
The new Inspirus and Sodexo USA CEO reportedly has over 25 years of leadership in the business technology sector in charge of business strategies designed to drive growth in industries such as financial services, oil and gas, travel, transportation, and manufacturing. Frierson succeeds Mia Mends, who directed Sodexo’s acquisition of Inspirus and who was named chief administrative officer of Sodexo North America earlier this year.
 
Frierson spent 24 years at Dell (formerly Perot Systems Corporation) in senior leadership positions—including tenure as one of the division’s HR business partners and as client executive. Most recently, she was the account general manager of the oil and gas division at DXC Technology. Over the course of her career, according to a company statement, “Frierson has established a distinguished track record of identifying areas for cost improvement and integrating best practices into operating methodology. Her passion for excellence is reflected in her personal mantra: ‘Challenge conventional thinking.’”
