Gilles Andrier,
CEO, Givaudan

With a resolute commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, Gilles Andrier, CEO of Givaudan, emphasized, “We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion drive our innovation at Givaudan and create closer connections with our employees, customers, and partners. As a leading global employer and a purpose-led company, we have set ambitious objectives, and before 2030, we aim that 50% of our senior leaders will be women. Becoming a Foundation Partner of the LEAD Network strengthens our commitment to becoming an even more balanced and inclusive company and provides opportunities to learn and exchange with other companies." 

Tetyana Kretova, Head of Development and Member Experience at LEAD Network, revealed: “By supporting LEAD Network, our partners are positioned as strategic drivers in our movement to advance women leaders in our industry and in alignment with United Nations SGD goal 5 on gender equality. These companies are catalysts for change and advocates of women’s leadership. And they play an instrumental role in bringing both intellectual and financial contributions to help build our strategic outlook and our educational and professional development programmes." 

Thank you so much, Givaudan, for partnering with us and for your steadfast support of LEAD Network Europe. Your dedication to driving positive change is invaluable as we continue our mission to attract, retain, and advance women in the retail and consumer goods industry across Europe through education, leadership, and business development.
