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.
Pelo segundo ano consecutivo, estamos reconhecendo ex-alunos que se superam para fazer contribuições excepcionais em suas comunidades - especialmente nas áreas de fome e nutrição, tecnologia, educação, diversidade e inclusão, além de práticas comerciais sustentáveis e preservação ambiental - com o Prêmio Nielsen Alumni de Impacto Social.
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.
No ano passado, Ramona Liberoff foi nomeada a primeira ganhadora do prêmio. Ramona atuou como vice-presidente sênior de nossa Prática de Inovação em Londres de 2012 a 2014, defendendo nosso programa de voluntariado global Nielsen Cares em toda a Europa. Depois de deixar a Nielsen, Ramona tornou-se CEO da SPRING Accelerator, uma aceleradora revolucionária para empresas de alto crescimento e impacto no leste da África e no sul da Ásia, beneficiando mais de 200.000 meninas adolescentes e melhorando a lucratividade e a sustentabilidade em tecnologia, saúde, educação, energia e agricultura. Mais recentemente, ela atuou como COO do Innogy Innovation Hub, investindo e acelerando startups que formarão o futuro do setor global de energia.
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.
Do you know a Nielsen alum who has made a meaningful difference by contributing their time, skills or expertise to a cause? Whether you are a current or former Nielsen associate, nominate a Nielsen alum to be recognized with this year’s Nielsen Alumni Social Impact Award.
