Jan Zijderveld’s Expertise After an International career at Unilever, moving every 3-4 years, leading different businesses across the world and living in 8 different countries. In 2011 I joined the executive board of Unilever and led its biggest business as President of Europe with 14 Bln sales, all categories and channels. In 2018 I had the privilege to become the CEO of Avon (listed on NYSE) and create a new chapter for this iconic, purpose driven beauty business providing livelihoods to 6 million families in 60 countries. In 2020 we sold the business to Natura after which I started doing a portfolio of activities. Before joining Avon as CEO in February 2018 I had a 30 year career at Unilever. Born in the Netherlands and educated in New Zealand. I started as a marketeer with Unilever’s business in New Zealand and have grown through a truly international career since then. My wife and two children have joined me on this journey, exploring many different parts of the world and leading many different businesses in different stages and situations. I believe in growing brands and businesses by connecting with consumers and citizens and bringing a company's purpose to life. In this incredibly fast pace world, more than ever, we need to have a laser focus and always better serve the needs of our consumers. We need to have a mindset to lead or lose and reinvent or minimally continuously evolve our organisation, capabilities and teams to stay relevant in the way we do business. I believe that we must put purpose first as we pioneer new ways of doing well by doing good. Today I serve on several great public company boards, work with some leading PE companies as well as manage my investment portfolio
