Chanel is committed to a long-term perspective, continuing to invest in China and other emerging markets, believing in their growth potential despite short-term fluctuations.

I envision Chanel as a beacon of inspiration for the next 100 years, continuing Gabrielle Chanel's legacy of liberating women and making a positive impact in the world by investing in human skills and craftsmanship.

The Chanel Foundation supports women and girls globally, focusing on safety, economic autonomy, and climate resilience, with projects like Radio Begum in Afghanistan providing education to girls.

When Chanel approached me, I was shocked and initially resistant, but after much reflection, I realized it was an opportunity I couldn't ignore. I was compelled to join Chanel because it's the most iconic brand, followed on all Western media platforms, and has a legendary founder, Gabrielle Chanel, who created revolutionary designs for women.

At Chanel, I experience a variety of roles, from fashion to being the world's largest fragrance maker and the second largest makeup maker, making every day a new challenge.

In my first months at Chanel, I focused on understanding the craftsmanship and stories behind our products, which helped me adapt to the luxury mindset that values rarity and artistry.

Sustainability was hardwired into our engineering approach from the beginning, as engineers aim to use the least amount of energy and materials.

The fundamentals of business and leadership skills are transferable; I relied on my strengths from Unilever while maintaining humility to understand Chanel's unique culture before implementing changes.

We are committed to using technology responsibly, ensuring that our work with organisms is beneficial not just for humans but for the environment as well. This is particularly important in industries like sericulture, where around 1,000 cocoons are exterminated for each shirt produced, highlighting the abuse of these organisms.
