“We cannot choose between growth & sustainability. We must have both.” UNILEVER CEO
“Unilever and CEO Paul Polman are the crown jewel of the consumer products industry.” Sandra Rupp, Executive Coach in FT comments (she now has viewers in 100 countries)
“Introducing the priceless Sandra Rupp.” FT Alphaville
Each morning I wake up to my Financial Times alerts on my smart phone to see headlines about my favorite CEOs. About ten days ago, I almost fell out of bed….There was a story in FT Alphaville (founded by the talented Paul Murphy) about Unilever stock and something going on with Kraft Heinz. As a world’s top business thinker, the first thing I did was head for my laptop and Twitter where I can read headlines of 25+ global publications. Next I was on the phone to a friend at a top hedge fund in New York asking him to tell me more about private equity firm 3G. Interestingly Warren Buffett helped my Dad find his CEO job back in the ’70s. I had even consulted to companies like Cadbury. I had to work fast, I had to take my comments to the FT, and I had to get creative because CEO Paul Polman and his visionary Sustainable Living Plan are worth everything we’ve got! He is my favorite CEO in the world, an innovator like no one else: irreplaceable and highly regarded by other Davos CEOs (and Executive Coaches). And the rest is Herstory: Yes FT Alphaville, Sandra Rupp, CEO Paul Polman and even Sir Martin Sorrell at WPP helped save the most historically important & sustainable company in the world: UNILEVER. And now I want to work with CEO Paul Polman and CMO Keith Weed to communicate the importance of The Sustainable Living Plan to investment managers around the globe. When we look back on business history, I believe we will see this as a KEY turning point for shareholders, consumers & employees. And I look forward to many more years ahead for Unilever’s highly talented CEO Paul Polman who was successful in fending off a takeover in record time with a little help from the many people who believe in him. Watch my video for the EXCITING STORY: Paul, let’s take everyone from Sustainable to Flourishing!

Excuse Me, Mr. Secretary-General: United Nations Citizen Ambassadors Video 2011
Posted on: September 10, 2011
If you had 30 Seconds to pitch one World Changing Idea to the United Nations, what would it be? I participated in the Citizen Ambassador Video Contest to share my message of The Yin & Yang of Leadership and express support for the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Here is a link summarizing all eight of the MDGs . The requirement for the video was that your answer be no more than 30 seconds & that you start your pitch with the words “Excuse Me, Mr. Secretary-General.” Watch below:
Can we end poverty one day? By working together and thinking creatively, I believe so. Many thanks to Mr. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon & the United Nations for their hard work & dedication on the MDGs. Having been lucky enough to work with people from many parts of the world, I have learned that there is a place we are very similar: our hearts and a place we are complementary: our minds. Call or email me to discuss how I can help you, your company or your organization as a Brand Ambassador for Conscious Capitalism, Sustainability & Inclusion. Best wishes from Sandra Rupp. Contact: www.parthenonadvisors.com www.sandrarupp.com
