Leena Nair, Global CEO, Chanel

[@yash7601]

the fact that she did her eingineering from some random college in sub-rural streets of kolhapur to now being ceo of chanel its honestly unbelievable,wow

[@swatikontham-shirsat5790]

She is brilliant. To add - she did her engineering from Walchand college, which was renowned one

[@Con_founded]

She went to a top management college though

[@mattersthatmatter]

She did her engineering from Walchand College of Engineering which is at Sangli, Maharashtra and is a renowned engineering college.

She spoke a line in marathi, which truly reflected how comfortable she is in her skin and how proud she is of her identity. This was a very inspirational and informative interview!

[@pranavbhardi9858]

I agree! As someone who's from Mumbai - my face lit up when I heard her compliment Ayesha in Marathi! VERY INSPITATIONAL!

She instantly connected. Such a positive vibrant energy. I feel a strong sense of confidence after watching this. I did my Post Graduation in Human Resource Management from XLRI, Jamshedpur and I work as a Makeup Artist in Beauty Industry. “Underplaying” part of the whole conversation is so incredibly inspiring. Thanks Leena for leading the way!

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

How HR can become CEO? Its unusual.

[@Dragoneye-cp6fv]

Like she did lmao

[@Excellence_Speaks]

Wow..."lift as you climb" is the biggest takeaway for me besides so many other golden nuggets ... Extremely noticeable is how she so sweetly interrupts every question or asker with an appreciative nod or comment..she is a role model for EQ, Ambition, adaptability, humbleness, grace, confidence and curiosity..at its best. Learnt lots from this interview. Her concern for sustainability, her views on the role of AI for Chanel are also extremely well articulated and thought through.

[@gargiguha6041]

I've loved every single word of this interview. Leena Nair; so gracious, intelligent, empathetic and so, so real. Truly, we need more leaders like that. I loved it when she said that she called Indra Nooyi after getting a call from Chanel, exclaiming Why me, and how she was chided. Just goes to show how authentic she is. Just no veneer. A great leader of my most favorite brand....truly befitting of carrying Gabriel Chanel's blazing torch ahead.

[@deepasoman553]

Leena is fascinating, always learning, inspiring, growing, and lifting. I remember the first meeting in your office in HLL at Backbay Reclamation, Mumbai, in 1999, the last time in Bangalore airport, and some times in between. Not only do I remember what you said, but also how you made me feel. I know you remember 20,000 names and faces in Chanel, and you have not forgotten the names and faces of the people you have interacted with over 200 brands in 190 countries 30 years ago. Keep doing your best work. I have never dreamed of owning Chanel, but I will start dreaming now that I know your brand and business a little better. Thank you for being you.

[@starlettealayon8626]

I like her principles. Very inspiring. Compassionate leaders are what the world really needs. Holistic approach is the right way at looking at things, caring for people, environment, heritage, artistry and keeping the right balance. She makes me dream of working at Chanel.

[@aditipandey1769]

"Walk the Talk" & "Lift as you Climb" ❤Immense respect for Her!!!

They are so lucky to have her as a leader! Charismatic, personable, warm and inspiring!

[@mjalals]

An inspirational leader, positive and full of energy. She is never hesitant to get advice from mentors. A good choice to speak to a group of students. Loved listening to the interview. Thank you.

[@swatikontham-shirsat5790]

This is so beautiful at all levels. What an amazing person Leena Nair is and I never knew or had read as much about her. Intelligent, graceful, genuine, humble, balanced, having her eyes on all the right things that we all collectively should aspire for! Thank you for sharing the interview! एक कोल्हापूर ची मराठी मुलगी मोठा प्रवास पार करून Chanel सारखा luxury brand lead करते आणि आपलं मराठीपण जपते ही फार सुंदर गोष्ट आहे!

As a common man of our society, I can say this, “she showed signs of exceptional intelligence, excellence and star quality, right from her school days.” I have seen school buses full of students waving at her, & shouting, ‘Leena …Leena’, when they saw her cycling towards her home or school!!! 😎

[@Natureloverallmylife]

i really sometimes wonder its just a luck that people get such opportunities to become CEO. I listened her completely, nothing is more than most of us don't know about. Confidence comes with a position. I do not think there is any skill other than hard work which makes people CEO. And most of the people do hard work in whatever position they are in. So I feel its entire luck how someone grows that much in profession.

[@AggresarioX]

You need to indulge in some introspection because it is not what she knows but how she puts to use what she knows, along with her emotional intelligence, and her capacity to learn and reinvent herself that sets her apart. History is littered with know-it-alls who couldn't dig themselves out of holes they dug for themselves.

[@RamMohammadJosephKaur]

@@AggresarioX elaborate

[@will201084]

Luck is a big factor because not many CEO positions. But super motivation and many other ingredients must work out. Some are handpicked. Some earn it.

There seems to be concordance over a long term vision between Leena Nair- the CEO- and Chanel as a company. She seems to have planned her career with a long term view ( 30 years), at Hindustan Lever and Unilever. Chanel spotted the perfect match in her long term view and people-centered approach.
