"Good Virus": Anand Mahindra After Leena Nair Gets Top Job At Chanel
NDTV
Leena Nair is not a part of the Paris fashion scene and is being hailed as a "serial glass-ceiling breaker".
Industrialist Anand Mahindra today congratulated Leena Nair, who was recently appointed the global CEO of Chanel. She is the latest Indian-origin person to head a global company, following the likes of Google-parent Alphabet's CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and more recently Twitter's CEO Parag Agrawal. So it's not just Silicon Valley but also Fashion Alley that's catching the ‘good virus' of Indian CEOs. Bravo Leena! Keep making us proud. https://t.co/CN54EtMdVs
Ms Nair, 52, was the first female and youngest-ever Chief Human Resources Officer of Unilever - a position she resigned from to join the iconic luxury group.
"So it's not just Silicon Valley but also Fashion Alley that's catching the 'good virus' of Indian CEOs. Bravo Leena! Keep making us proud," Mr Mahindra posted on Twitter.
