industry, innovation, and sustainability, creating meaningful and
lasting value for both IFF and our customers,” said IFF Chairman
and CEO Andreas Fibig. “He exemplifies IFF at its best and it is
fitting that he is honored by the very people whom he has long

passed on an opportunity with National Geographic to join IFF’s
Paris office in 1988 as sales support for its Italian affiliate. He
quickly moved to an Account Executive role, first in Paris, then in
the Company’s headquarters in New York, where he moved to roles of
increasing responsibility. In 2006, he was named Group President,
Fragrances, responsible for global strategy, commercial and
creative execution, people development and profit and loss in the
Fragrances Business Unit. In addition to his role as Group
President, Mr. Mirzayantz serves as President of IFF’s prestigious
unit of natural products, Laboratoire Monique Rémy in Grasse,
France, considered the industry benchmark of naturals globally.

President, The Fragrance Foundation; Andreas Fibig, IFF CEO; Carlos
Benaim, IFF Master Perfumer; Ann Gottlieb, President, Ann Gottlieb

Lauder Companies. The Master of Ceremonies was John Demsey,

Mr. Mirzayantz accepted his award from Mr. Lauder and in his
speech, commented, “In many businesses, we work in the shadows of
our heroes. But in the beauty and fragrance industry, we walk among
them every day. One of my life’s greatest joys is to have worked
with so many icons and rising talents in this field for the last 30
years, a number of whom are here tonight. You ARE my mentors,
colleagues, customers, competitors but most importantly, my
friends.” Mr. Mirzayantz acknowledged the many people who have
supported him through the years and called out the special role IFF
played in his success -- “At IFF, we search for talent that looks
at the world through a different lens and support them so that they
can reach their full potential.”
