Marie Dousova steps down as Nestlé partner ambassador for LEAD Network

Marie Dousova hands over the bâton to a new generation of colleagues.

Marie Dousova, Head of Sales and Customer Management Zone Europe, Middle East, North Africa at Nestlé, has been our Partner Ambassador for many years now. Under her passionate leadership, company engagement grew strongly. In 2016, Marie started with 14 members; last year, she closed with 600. Marie organized the signing of the CEO Pledge, participation at the CEO Roundtable, and appointment of dedicated volunteers on key committees.

At this point in her career, Marie has decided to hand over the bâton to a new generation of colleagues. Marie states, "I have been doing the role of Partner Ambassador for LEAD Network with all my dedication and passion, not expecting a reward. I'm very happy Nestlé has become a strong member of LEAD Network with a great future collaboration. And I'm proud I have been a part of the D&I journey in Europe with my friends and colleagues."

Mick Broekhof, the co-founder of LEAD Network and Secretary of the Board of Directors, says: "Marie, you are leaving a true legacy for DE&I at Nestlé and in our FMCG industry in Europe."

“A heartfelt thanks goes out to Marie from all of us at LEAD Network. Marie has been a champion of LEAD Network since our early days when she attended her first LEAD Conference in 2015 in Brussels. Marie has been an exemplary Partner Ambassador and under her leadership the collaboration with Nestlé has grown. We are grateful to Marie for all she does for our mission.” - adds Sharon Jeske, Executive Director of LEAD Network. 

Everyone at LEAD Network celebrates and thank you for all these years of dedication as Nestlé Partner Ambassador.  We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
