🎉 Celebrating 6 Months in Danone's Global Digital Transformation Team! Grateful and thrilled to mark my first half-year milestone which I realized was already a week ago. It's been a hell of a ride, that's for sure 🚀🚀🚀 Here's a glimpse into my reflections on the transition from a local to a global role: 🌐 Global Perspective, Local Impact: The shift from a local role to a global one has been nothing short of transformative. Engaging with diverse markets and understanding their business needs has broadened my horizons. Yet, amidst the global scale, the real thrill lies in how every initiative contributes to local impact. It's about leveraging a global mindset to make a difference in individual communities for our consumers and patients. 🌐 Collaboration Across Borders: Working across borders means collaborating with brilliant minds from different cultures, backgrounds, and expertise. This diversity of ideas fosters innovation and creativity. 🌐 Adapting to Global Dynamics: Navigating the complexities of a global role demands adaptability. From understanding varied regulatory landscapes to tailoring strategies for diverse consumer behaviors, every day is a learning experience. Embracing this challenge every day is key. 💙 Celebrating Success Together: Achievements in a global role are shared victories. Whether it's the successful launch of a direct commerce platform or the positive impact on our business performance, the celebration is collective. So shoutout to some of the most amazing people who make a difference every day: Rik Tholen, Esther Zhong, Ina Garvanska, Luuk de Klijn, Goetz Klingelhoefer, Vlad Sterngold, Monhir El-Achheb, Patrick Krul, Marissa Wouters and Camille Lavenant 🎓 Continuous Learning Journey: The learning curve in a global role is steep but immensely rewarding. From understanding market dynamics to mastering the nuances of cross-cultural communication, the journey is a perpetual learning experience. Here's to the incredible journey of growth, collaboration, and making a global impact through Direct commerce! 🥂 Grateful for your trust and leadership Mabel LU and looking forward to the challenges and successes that lie ahead. 🚀 #DigitalTransformation #DirectCommerce #ProudToBeDanoner Picture by Alejandro F.

This past year has been one laced with growth. It's been one year since I joined Pernod Ricard and certainly, the first couple of months came with a potpourri of emotions: moving from settling into my new role to self-doubt, from pushing myself to eventually getting a hang of the demands of the role. Joining at a time when the organisation was going through a series of transformations, it appeared my teething phase lingered longer than I'd anticipated. Struggling to find my rhythm meant I occasionally doubted my abilities and contemplated throwing in the towel a couple of times. To get past this stage, two things worked for me. Firstly, in my subconscious, I was convinced that if I could endure, be consistent, push myself, and not give up, I'd come out stronger. Lastly, I had the support and cheering of those that mattered the most; my family and colleagues. Munirat Yahaya was that one person who kept believing in me. In fact, she opened my mind to cracking what I had thought impossible, and this was the beginning of me getting my groove back. I also enjoyed the immense support of my line manager - thank you, Bode Omosagba, for seeing the potential in me and for providing the required support all the way. I'm elated that the efforts I put into turning things around didn't go unnoticed as I clinched two awards at the FY23 company retreat and awards ceremony. Having won the CEO award and the "Deliver through collaboration" award, I'm motivated to continue to give my utmost best to contribute to the growth of the business. As I continue to put in the work, I'm excitedly looking forward to what the future holds. #workanniversary #resilience #appreciation

Little did I know when starting my first trainee job with Unilever that this would be the foundation of my life long learning journey. Peer group learning with long relationships over two, three decades has proven to be my best tool to continously sharpen the saw. Some of you are best friends, some are best challenger or promoter. Thanks Unilever for selecting some of the people who are still my best colleagues outside the office. #learning #peerlearning #bff

It is DEI week at Danone!!! Danone is celebrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) this week, which is an opportunity to celebrate differences and promote greater equity and inclusion. And, for me, this extends to different ways of thinking and working.     Because there is incredible value in the diversity of ideas. Untapped novelty, new ways of seeing the business, and immense potential to enhance performance. Plus, when people feel as if their ideas are listened to and appreciated, it creates engagement. We all know: that’s good for business.     But to get to there, leaders need to be ready and willing to let go. To question the unspoken protocols and norms; to encourage people to speak out, voice their opinions, and drive out-of-the-box thinking – no matter their hierarchical position.  In this respect, probably the most critical ingredient of an inclusive recipe is, for leaders, the creation of a REAL safe space. A space where everyone feels free to speak, and to give constructive feedback.   In my past life, I had a boss who taught me one important lesson. He was always saying to me and to others: “Roberto, you take the risk, I take the blame!” No need to explain.  If you know that whatever you say or propose is with good intentions, and can’t get you in trouble, all of a sudden, you feel more included, become more vocal, and the entire organization benefits, by tapping into the innovative power of all its employees. At Danone, we want to be in this together, embrace Inclusion, which is the first step towards Equity and Diversity. #DEI #DanoneIsWhatIDo
