We’re celebrating International Women’s Day with six of Dauphin America’s very own extraordinary ladies from our leadership team.
These women represent the many other inspiring women that contribute to our success every day.
As a global company—with more than 1,000 employees—we have a social responsibility to foster a company culture that goes beyond diversity into embracing inclusion and racial/gender equality and nurturing a multitude of perspectives.
This new year 2022, Dauphin decided to organize a team that amplifies heterogeneous voices to provide the market with a progressive interactive and long-lasting positive experience.
We are embarking on a transformative process, and we’re giving women a well-deserved seat at the table in decision-making, a place where these women belong and lead the company into the future.
