Honored to share my cover article in the current issue of Real Leaders magazine about Paul Polman, former CEO of Unilever, a truly enlightened CEO. He served as CEO of Unilever for over a decade through the end of 2018. With a laser-focused vision, an innovative long-term strategy, and bold courage, he achieved amazing results that delivered close to 300% total shareholder return, while pushing for the highest standards of social & environmental performance in a 140-billion-dollar company. Also, he was instrumental in transforming many of Unilever’s billion-dollar brands to operate as “social enterprises” and of the recent Unilever acquisitions, ten were B Certified Companies.
