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.

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.

Sustainability is non-negotiable for Chanel; we aim to reduce carbon emissions and invest in circularity, creating upcycled products and promoting women's autonomy in our value chain.

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.

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.

I hope my legacy is a net positive on the world, impacting billions of people in a meaningful way, similar to what Steve Jobs and Elon Musk have achieved.

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.

I hope to encourage women in the audience to keep going, as their success will inspire more women to start their own companies, contributing to a long-term change in the startup landscape.
