Published on October 9, 2023

A heartfelt thank you to the partner ambassadors, dedicated volunteers, and the entire Ofi team for their unwavering support. Together, we are committed to attracting, retaining, and advancing women in the retail and consumer goods industry in Europe, through education, leadership, and business development.

Chris Beetge, Head of ofi EMENA Region, shared his thoughts: " As part of my role to drive meaningful change across ofi’s EMENA business, I’m delighted to announce that we have become a LEAD Network Gold Partner. This marks an important step forward in our journey towards fostering a safe and inclusive workplace ensuring our practices are equitable and our business represents the customers and communities we serve. Promoting gender equity is a golden thread running through our organizational culture. I’m looking forward to discussing our goals and ambition with our partners who are already part of the network enabling greater collaboration for good practice principles. We’re taking a thoughtful and deliberate approach to building gender representation and it’s clear to me that we need to go beyond target setting – the real change comes from building a progressive, inclusive culture – always challenging ourselves to do more. I’m looking forward to pressing the agenda, turning momentum into action and Make it Real at ofi.”

Tetyana Kretova, Head of Development and Member Experience at LEAD Network, added: "Our partners, like ofi, play a pivotal role as strategic drivers in advancing women leaders in our industry. They are champions of change, advocating for women's leadership and contributing both intellectually and financially to our strategic outlook and educational programs. Thank you for your invaluable support!"
