After two exciting years, during which I led the fantastic LIPTON Teas and Infusions team, I have decided to turn a new page. Drawing inspiration from Gen-Z as the compass for all our decisions allowed us to move faster and further. This new generation does not settle for vague promises. They expect immediate action driven by sincerity, and the building of solid alliances. Thanks to this approach, we have created a legacy that will sustainably and positively impact the lives of 13 million people who depend on tea, worldwide. It is with great emotion that I sincerely thank my leadership team, and all the teams at LIPTON Teas and Infusions worldwide, for their unwavering commitment and trust. Together, with the support of our shareholders, we embarked on an incredible journey to transform the tea industry with remarkable energy. I also want to express my gratitude to our clients and business partners for their unwavering support. Your trust in us has been instrumental in our journey. I extend my thanks to my colleagues in the industry — particularly the GlobalTeaCoalition and the Ethical Tea Partnership, with whom we have worked hand-in-hand, and those on the The Consumer Goods Forum Board. The latter represents a unique alliance between manufacturers and retailers in consumer goods and truly has the power to change lives. Lastly, a special thank you to President Dr. William Ruto of Kenya, Senator Aaron Cheruiyot, Browns Investments Company, and all our stakeholders in LIPTON’s largest sourcing country. Together, we have redefined the standards of the tea industry, with elevated requirements for quality, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship. Leading LIPTON Teas and Infusions has been an adventure for which I am deeply grateful, and incredibly proud. As I step into a new chapter, I am excited to continue contributing to inspiring agendas of positive change.
