Currently global policy manager for content regulation at Facebook, Makanju drives the company’s approach to emerging regulatory frameworks around the world. She has also practiced international law in the Hague and at Cleary Gottlieb Steen and Hamilton LLP and taught at Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs.
Makanju served as a special adviser for Europe and Eurasia to then-vice president, now President Joseph R. Biden, focusing on policy and engagement strategies with 51 countries, including Russia and Turkey. She has also served as a senior adviser to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and as director for Russia on the U.S. National Security Council.
Mariasun Aramburuzabala Larregui is president of the board & CEO of Tresalia Capital, a global investor with investments and transactional experience throughout Latin America, Asia, Europe and the U.S. She also serves as a board director for several global corporations and institutions, including Anheuser-Busch InBev and Grupo Modelo.
Aramburuzabala is said to be one of Latin America’s most prominent business leaders and her achievements have been recognized by multiple institutions, including Fortune Magazine (“50 Most Powerful Women in Global Business”), Star Group’s “Leading Women Entrepreneurs of the World” and the International Women Forum’s “Corporations that Make the Difference” awards.
Coty also announced that Paul S. Michaels stepped down as a director on Dec 18. Michaels joined the Board of Directors in June 2015.
Stéphane Delbos was promoted to the position of chief procurement officer. He joined Coty in 2010 as global sourcing director. His most recent position was senior vice president for Transformation, Indirect and Procurement Operations.
In his new role, Delbos will be responsible for implementing Coty’s multi-year procurement strategy, which includes achieving “a significant cost reduction target by FY23,” reducing complexity and strengthening Coty’s new product pipeline with leading innovation from external suppliers. This forms an important element of Coty’s transformation program, announced in 2020.
