Testimonies

« The Sodexo/Pluribus partnership is not your typical vendor/client relationship, but rather a collaborative commitment to creating, learning and growing together; a commitment that has allowed me to witness and be a part of the global growth and success that Pluribus has achieved over the past 10 years, and that I'm sure will continue for many years to come ».
Rohini Anand - Senior Vice President Corporate Responsibility & Global Chief Diversity Officer - Sodexo

« Over a time period of almost 10 years, and from the very beginning, the success of our collaboration has been based on a strong trusting partnership with the shared vision, with the same passion and mindset ! I want to thank Isabelle and the Pluribus Team for sharing your wisdom and accompanying Sodexo and me grow during this rich D&I journey ! »
Satu Heschung – VP of Global Diversity & Inclusion - Sodexo

« L'Oréal started to work with Pluribus almost 10 years ago when Isabelle Pujol helped the Group defining the new Diversity strategy. Since then, Pluribus has been one of the main external partners to help L'Oréal with the conceptualisation and roll-out of the Diversity workshop : a one-day mandatory training for all our employees. Today Pluribus Associates from all over the world help our teams to train our employees. We are very thankful to have such a competent, reliable and experienced partner at our side. »

« In the past years, Pluribus has been a great contributor in creating awareness on the  importance of bias in our organisation. »
Sonia Studer – Global Head of Diversity & Inclusion - Nestlé

« As we were rather late to address diversity and inclusion, we had the luxury to learn from best practice. We therefore teamed up with Isabelle Pujol to create and deliver awareness trainings. Isabelle made a difference with her huge experience and the way she challenged us and our top leaders. She created curiosity and hunger for more. The best start you could have on a D&I journey. »
Eivind Slaan – Head of People & Culture Development - Hilti

« Beyond her passion and professionalism, listening is Isabelle's great quality. Every time, we have worked together, she understood our needs perfectly and found limpid solutions to questions such as  : "how to build a diversity roadmap?" ; "how to raise awareness through our Diversity Council all over the world". Let's continue your road! »
Laurence Reckford - Diversity Department Manager - Total

« Pluribus supported the development of the Beyond Bias program for Hilti to be implemented globally and as I started our D&I journey in Hilti North America it became clear that a more inclusive approach would be needed within our organization. We could combine the content and expertise from Pluribus with Our Culture Journey we would be embedding D&I within our culture. Isabelle and her team of facilitators have absolutely understood our organizational culture and have been instrumental in bringing awareness to the importance of inclusion »
Silvia Siqueira - Diversity & Inclusion Senior Manager - Hilti North America

« Active listening , goodwill and kindness, empathy. Isabelle Pujol has these great human qualities that enable people to speak freely and trust each other. Let's get inspired by her ».
