🌟My FMCG Journey at L'Oréal 🌟 I am thrilled to share that I have joined L'Oréal this family as an igniter! As a leader in the beauty and cosmetics industry, L'Oréal's commitment to innovation inspires me every day. With over 40 iconic brands across 150 countries, it’s a vibrant community celebrating beauty in all its forms. Throughout my previous experience in financial institutions, family offices, tech startups, and NGOs, I’ve developed a profound understanding of financial markets and strategic investment. These experiences have sharpened my analytical skills and risk management abilities—key competencies that I am eager to bring to the FMCG sector. In the initial sessions, I’ve been captivated by L'Oréal's vibrant work culture and innovative rotary systems. They’re not merely discussing sustainability; they’re actively educating on the circularity of both financial and non-financial aspects within their supply chain. This deep commitment to making a tangible impact truly touches my heart! ---------------------------------------------------------- ✨Key Insight: Every Role Holds Value✨ I firmly believe that no task is too small; every single one is vital to our shared journey. Our experiences serve as essential building blocks, offering invaluable opportunities for growth and transformation. For example, a mere 1% improvement in operational efficiency can save a company with $10 billion in revenue around $100 million. This powerful insight highlights the significant influence of even the smallest contributions. By embracing each responsibility with a proactive spirit and a heartfelt dedication to continuous learning, I can turn routine tasks into meaningful actions that foster both my personal development and the organization’s success. Seizing every opportunity is essential, as our collective efforts can lead to extraordinary achievements. Together, we have the potential to create something truly remarkable! Lastly, thank you Chak Wang Nicholas Ng Anna Yip Alex Bhisitkul Jimmy Li for sharing invaluable insights, and Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau for organizing this and upcoming events. #LOrealIgnite #WeAreLOreal #LOrealHongKong #LorealForYouth #Empowered #BeautyTech #CreateTheBeautyThatMovesTheWorld #CareerGrowth #Upskilling

I recently had the incredible opportunity to participate in the L'Oréal Brandstorm Challenge, an inspiring and innovative competition that pushes the boundaries of creativity and strategic thinking. The challenge was not only a testament to teamwork and perseverance but also a platform to harness our creativity towards solving real-world problems in the hair-care industry. Throughout this journey, I gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of brand innovation, digital marketing strategies, and sustainable solutions that align with L'Oréal's mission to create the beauty that moves the world. The experience of brainstorming ideas, collaborating with brilliant minds, and presenting our solutions to industry experts has been nothing short of transformative. Today, I am proud to share my Certificate of Participation in the L'Oréal Brandstorm Challenge. This achievement is not just a testament to my commitment but also a reminder of the endless possibilities when passion meets innovation. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my team and everyone at L'Oréal for providing us with this platform to learn, grow, and challenge ourselves. This has inspired me to continue exploring innovative solutions with AI that can make a difference. #LorealBrandstorm2024 #Innovation #BeautyIndustry #DigitalMarketing #Sustainability #Teamwork #artificialintelligence

My L'Oréal Ignite journey this month: "Life as MT@ L'Oréal"✨ Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to attend our first webinar of L'Oréal Ignite 2024, "Life as MT@ L'Oréal". Listening to the management trainees share their experiences was not only inspiring but also profoundly enlightening, shaping my understanding of what it means to thrive in the beauty industry. Here are my top 3 key takeaways: 1. Authenticity: Being true to oneself is essential in the workplace. At L'Oréal, every individual is valued for their unique contributions. Embrace who you are and let your true self shine! 2. Open-Mindedness: Remaining open to diverse perspectives enhances teamwork and fosters creativity. Actively seeking out differing viewpoints can lead to innovative solutions and richer collaboration. 3. Growth Mindset: The speaker shared how they transformed challenges into valuable learning opportunities. This perspective inspired me to view setbacks as essential stepping stones for personal and professional growth. Thanks for the sharing and can't wait to join the next event! #lorealIgnite #weareloreal #lorealforyouth #empowered #beautytech #futureofbeauty #careergrowth #upskilling Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau

Earlier this month, I had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the world of beauty innovation at the L’Oréal Experience Day. 💄 Here are my 3 key takeaways from this insightful event! 1️⃣ L’Oréal's strategic venture into the South Asia Pacific, Middle East, and North Africa region (SAPMENA) is poised to become a key market for L’Oréal in the next decade. This is due to SAPMENA’s young average age of 28 years old, with growing beauty aspirations and purchasing power. 2️⃣ L’Oréal Groupe's sustainability program (L’Oréal for the Future) is dedicated to reaching their science-based targets. One such initiative that reflects their commitment is the collaboration with startup Gjosa to create a water-saving shower head, which is stated to have reduce water consumption by 69%! 3️⃣ The intersection of beauty and technology was showcased vividly through L’Oréal's innovative products like the YSL Rouge Sur Mesure. It allows users to craft thousands of lipstick shades with a single touch, exemplifying L’Oréal's dedication to providing personalized beauty experiences that empower individuals to express their unique selves. Overall, it was a privilege to attend the L’Oréal Experience Day and explore with the company that shapes the world of beauty. ⭐️ #LOrealDaySG #LOrealSAPMENA #SAPMENAStories #JoinMeAtLOreal

My L'Oréal Ignite Journey: An Exciting Start ✨ Yesterday, I joined my first webinar and learned more about the MT life at L'Oréal. This event enhanced my understanding of the company’s culture and values. I gained a lot from the networking experience with L'Oréal experts who come from diverse backgrounds. It was inspiring to hear how they leveraged their knowledge and professional experiences to solve difficulties and challenges during their work. As a marketing student, this reminds me to explore different areas of knowledge and to be curious about various topics. Here are the three key takeaways from this online webinar: - Be who you are 🔥: Instead of trying to fit yourself into what a company likes, we should seek a company that truly suits our personality and passion. - The sense of humor 😗: Having humor is important; it can help resolve problems and disagreements related to tasks, as well as improve relationships within the team. - Show passion ❤️ : Love what you do and do what you love. When you are genuinely passionate about your work, it not only enhances your performance but also inspires those around you. Thanks, Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau. Can’t Wait for the next workshop! #lorealIgnite #weareloreal #lorealforyouth #empowered #beautytech #futureofbeauty #careergrowth #upskilling

My L'Oréal Ignite Journey This Month: A Webinar Full of Insights💡 I'm excited to kick off my L'Oréal Ignite journey by participating in the first webinar, Life as an MT @L'Oréal. This webinar gave me deeper insights into L'Oréal's culture and philosophy, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the MT program. I would like to share three key takeaways from the webinar: ⭐️ Be yourself, not who others want you to be. Everyone is unique with their own talents. The MT emphasized that there is no single ideal candidate for the company, so we shouldn't change ourselves based on societal norms or others' expectations. Instead, we should confidently embrace who we are and showcase our strengths. ⭐️ Your major doesn’t define your career path – step out of your comfort zone. Before hearing from the MTs, I assumed they all came from business backgrounds. Surprisingly, Nicholas’s story shows that students from various academic backgrounds can become MTs and apply their knowledge in the workplace. This reminded me not to be afraid of stepping into unfamiliar areas. ⭐️ Keep a growth mindset. The sharing inspired me to stay open to feedback and never stop learning, especially in a dynamic, fast-paced, and innovation-driven work environment. Learn as much as you can, as knowledge is the master plan. Constant self-improvement and reflecting on feedback are key to successfully facing new challenges and seizing more opportunities. Additionally, MT Nicholas shared a quote from the founder: "A company is not walls and machines, it’s people, people, people.” This quote left a deep impression on me, making me realize how much L'Oréal values its employees and is committed to creating a diverse and supportive work environment. A huge thank you to the L'Oréal TA Team Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau for organizing this insightful session and to all the MTs for sharing their valuable experiences and tips with us.💖 Looking forward to the upcoming events!✨ #lorealIgnite #weareloreal #lorealforyouth #empowered #beautytech #futureofbeauty #careergrowth #upskilling
