MARMOT TITLE : CHIEF SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER COMPANY : UNILEVER INDUSTRY : SUSTAINABILITY LOCATION : LONDON , UK
Marmot began her career in the PR and marketing sector , undertaking a training scheme while working at an agency . As her career progresses , she gained extensive experience in consultancy , government and private industry through various organisations , later becoming intrigued by the interplay between different stakeholders that facilitated project management .
Marmot ’ s interest in sustainability and global health was sparked when she joined
Unilever during a time of global transformation and instability , specifically the global financial crisis . Unilever was exercising the new vision of growth while sharing profits across the value chain . Marmot , therefore , recognised an opportunity to leverage the company ’ s products ’ strength and breadth to make a more sustainable contribution to macro-level issues exacerbated by the banking system ’ s collapse .
