Making a positive difference in the communities where we live and work is an integral part of Nielsen’s culture. By donating time, skills and expertise through pro bono projects, skills-based and hands-on volunteering through our global volunteer program, Nielsen Cares, as well as sustainability initiatives through Nielsen Green, our associates are helping to solve some of the most critical social and environmental challenges. Even after leaving the company, many of our associates continue enriching their communities in meaningful ways.
Maintaining a connection with our alumni is also part of our DNA. Many of them lead and contribute to a variety of successful organizations around the world. Our alumni serve as important business connectors, brand ambassadors, talent magnets and knowledge sharers for Nielsen. And since 2016, we’ve been able to connect our alumni together through the Nielsen Alumni Network.
Per il secondo anno consecutivo, il Nielsen Alumni Social Impact Award premia gli alumni che si sono impegnati al massimo per dare un contributo eccezionale alle loro comunità, in particolare nei settori della fame e dell'alimentazione, della tecnologia, dell'istruzione, della diversità e dell'inclusione, nonché delle pratiche commerciali sostenibili e della conservazione dell'ambiente.
Associates and alumni will have the opportunity to nominate alumni for this unique distinction through Sept. 17, 2018. The award recipient will be announced during Nielsen Alumni Week, Oct. 1 – 5, 2018, our company’s global flagship celebration of former associates. Both the award recipient and the nominator will receive donations to their charities of choice from Nielsen.
L'anno scorso, Ramona Liberoff è stata nominata destinataria del premio inaugurale. Ramona ha ricoperto il ruolo di SVP della nostra Innovation Practice a Londra dal 2012 al 2014, promuovendo il nostro programma di volontariato globale Nielsen Cares in tutta Europa. Dopo aver lasciato Nielsen, Ramona è diventata CEO di SPRING Accelerator, un acceleratore di imprese a forte crescita e ad alto impatto nell'Africa orientale e nell'Asia meridionale, di cui hanno beneficiato più di 200.000 ragazze adolescenti e che ha migliorato la redditività e la sostenibilità nei settori della tecnologia, dell'assistenza sanitaria, dell'istruzione, dell'energia e dell'agricoltura. Più recentemente, ha ricoperto il ruolo di COO dell'Innogy Innovation Hub, investendo e accelerando le startup che formeranno il futuro dell'industria energetica globale.
Ramona chose to direct Nielsen’s donation as part of her award to the Fawcett Society, the U.K.’s leading charity fighting for gender equality and women’s rights. The Fawcett Society campaigns under the themes of money, power and gender stereotypes, with a vision for a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential, creating a stronger, happier, better future for us all.
