I am very exited to be responsible for diversity and inclusion, as both of these topics are a part of my life.

And from the other side, being myself a working mother of 2 kids, I respect and fully share our Company’s commitment to inclusion on work.

The world itself is very diverse: there men and women of different ages, abilities, national origins, marital status, sexual orientations, religions; with very different educational, professional, cultural background.

If diversity already exists in the society, inclusion is to be created. For me, inclusion is about focusing on the needs of every individual and ensuring the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve his or her full potential.
