Spain Chapter Committee Members

I am very excited to be the Spain Chapter Chair as it will help me to impact and drive change toward a more inclusive gender-equal world. When people can be themselves at work without fear, they can unlock higher performance and true creativity. As a mother I want to raise my children to fight their fears, to show authenticity, and to contribute to creating a more diverse and inclusive world.

After ten years of international career, I know from own experience how important diverse teams are and how they help create additional value to the company and people around. Being involved in the LEAD Network is my way to give back for all those who supported me in my international journey.

I’m glad to be part of the Spain Chapter of LEAD Network.  Here I will be able to learn and contribute to continue building an inclusive culture in our business. I truly believe that the best teams are diverse.  When people feel included, they feel empowered to give their best and accomplish better results.

As a woman and as a Human Resources professional, I believe that changing things is easy if many people combine their efforts to achieve it. That is the Lead Network, it is a great team with a common goal, to achieve a more diverse and inclusive world, with the same opportunities for everyone. It doesn’t matter where you are from or how you are, what matters is that at Lead Network we all work as a true team.

In my opinion, the most important thing that companies have, are their people. Taking account of others’ needs, motivations and wellbeing has always been an important consideration for how I do business.

I joined the LEAD Network Spanish Chapter because I believe it’s a great opportunity for cross-sector collaboration. By sharing experience and developing value-adding D&I initiatives together; we can unlock female talent within the supply chain.

As a proud dad of three daughters, I am worried about they will have the same opportunities in the future as men. Gender equal society is something that is not happening currently, for this reason, I think as a man I can contribute to avoiding this inequality. I am an active member of the Spain Chapter promoting and participating in activities to sensibilize men to act for a future better world. I am very proud to participate in this initiative.

I truly believe that having a gender-equal society is one of the key elements to create a better society and a prosperous world. LEAD Network is a great opportunity to make that visible, to contribute to develop female talent and to inspire others (women and men) towards the change we need. I wish we could promote these activities in all corners of the world, provoke the desired domino effect and empower all women and girls around the globe!

I am passionate about contributing with our experience and desire to the creation of an increasingly diverse sector.

The reason why I joined LEAD Network is because I think there is still a gap to cover in full equality in companies and I want to bring my contribution in order to improve this situation.

I  like to contribute as much as possible to gender diversity, as I truly believe diversity is highly correlated with better business results, more balance teams and a healthier culture.

After more than 14 years in FMCG, and now being part of Unilever’s Board of Directors, I dream to see more women in the board room across de industry.
