Leadership shaped by systems thinking and curiosity At the heart of Ezgi’ s approach is curiosity.“ Maybe it’ s the engineering rules again, but I like to lead with curiosity,” she says.“ Continuing to ask the right questions, bring the right partners to the conversation, challenge the status quo and also to openly discuss the difficulties and systemic barriers. Curiosity creates that space for everyone to generate ideas and to co-create solutions while learning from each other.
Ezgi believes that asking the right questions is as important as finding the right answers, a mindset that underpins initiatives such as L’ Accelerator and the company’ s broader innovation strategy.“ Sustainability is a team sport,” she says. For Ezgi, the ultimate goal is clear.“ It’ s about the future of beauty being more sustainable, inclusive and transparent,” she says.
