NEW YORK, March 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Criteo S.A. (NASDAQ: CRTO), the global technology
company powering the world's marketers with trusted
and impactful advertising, today announced two milestones in
its commitment to diversity and inclusion, including the
appointment of Rachel Scheel, former
GE Healthcare Executive for Culture, Inclusion, Diversity and
Engagement, as its first Senior Vice President of Global
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the unveiling of its Pay
Parity Action Plan, in which the company commits to regular gender
pay equity analysis for full pay parity across the
organization. These investments underscore Criteo's ongoing
efforts to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace and drive
sustainable and meaningful change across the industry.
Cultivating an Inclusive Workforce
As Criteo's first leader dedicated to DE&I, Scheel will be
responsible for designing and driving Criteo's Global Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion program, collaborating across the organization
to launch strategic initiatives that foster a more diverse and
inclusive culture. In this role, Scheel will work closely with
executives to define and execute on long-term and data-driven
strategies to improve organizational culture, ensure alignment of
people management processes, and enact a successful diversity
recruitment program. Additionally, she will provide strategic
guidance to Criteo's multiple Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and
Allyship group, while developing resources and trainings for
employees to contribute to creating an environment where diversity
thrives.
Scheel joins Criteo with over 20 years of experience in HR
leadership roles. She started her career in Brisbane, Australia after receiving her
Bachelor of Business (HRM) and recently completed her Executive
MBA. Prior to joining Criteo, she was the Global Executive for
Culture, Inclusion, Diversity and Engagement at GE Healthcare. In
this role, she was responsible for driving employee engagement for
the business along with the diversity and inclusion strategy, and
aligning with learning and development, talent, reward and employee
life-cycle mechanisms to do so.
"In my career, I have been a passionate advocate for diversity
and making a real difference both inside and outside of an
organization," said Scheel. "I am eager to drive Criteo forward in
becoming equitable throughout every level of the company, driving
engagement from leadership, to management and employees to deliver
an inclusive culture."
Achieving Full Pay Parity
In its efforts towards gender equality, Criteo has focused in on
providing wage parity across genders. The company has closed the
salary gap of men and women to zero, reaching full pay parity
regardless of gender. Moving forward, as part of its Pay Parity
Action Plan, the company has committed to regular
gender pay equity analysis and will remedy any
discrepancies as appropriate. Furthermore, in order to remove bias,
all internal and external applicants will be assessed by their
relevant skills and experience against internal and external
compensation benchmarking data in order to determine a suitable
offer, rather than historical salary levels.
"At Criteo, we strive to foster a diverse and inclusive culture
that aligns with our greater corporate strategy and values, and we
realize that in order to drive change, we need to take action. Our
achievement in closing the pay gap companywide is just the first
step in our greater plan and I am thrilled to have Rachel join the
team to continue these efforts and accelerate Criteo's journey to
becoming fully equitable," said Denis
Collin, Chief People Officer at Criteo. "She has been a
positive agent of change at multiple organizations throughout her
career and I am confident that she will do the same for
Criteo."
