In the next video in our series “What CEOs learn from board roles,” Heidrick & Struggles’ Paulo Mendes speaks to Marilia Rocca, CEO of Grupo Hinode, the largest marketing multilevel consumer goods company in Brazil, and nonexecutive director of Santander Brazil. Rocca discusses how her nonexecutive director role has influenced her to become a more forward-thinking CEO, the benefits and challenges of having a nonexecutive role in a different industry than her CEO role, and how her approach to making progress on diversity and inclusion is different as a CEO and as a board member. Rocca also shares why she appreciates the perspective being part of a bank offers and how banks are approaching ESG issues.
