“Over the last several months, we have been featuring stories of
our women around the world — sharing their personal and
professional experiences, advice and life lessons – with people
everywhere through videos, blogs and photos,” says Roxanne Taylor,
Accenture’s chief marketing & communications officer.
“When we launched Being Greater Than, we worked with renowned
storytelling project Dear World and videographer Robert Fogarty to
help our women tell their stories,” she says. “Looking to the next
phase of our campaign, we thought it would be a great idea to team
with women filmmakers.”
To create the new video series, Accenture (NYSE:ACN) paired
women directors at MOFILM, a global community of filmmakers, with
its own employees.
“These filmmakers share our passion to tell candid stories that
can inspire others to reach their fullest potential at work and in
life,” explains Taylor.
The Being Greater Than campaign features the stories of
Accenture women across generations and geographies
– underscoring the company’s commitment to gender equality,
including pay equality, and connecting the company’s more than
140,000 women. The stories bring to life the company’s inclusive
and diverse culture; its efforts to ensure its people can succeed
personally and professionally; and the impact Accenture people are
having by giving back to their communities. Since debuting the
campaign in November 2015, the company has published the stories of
more than 100 people across 25 countries.
The two-minute videos, which will be released on a rolling
basis, include the stories of:
Sandy Mohonathan, Human Resource Associate Director,
South Africa, who says, “Growing up in a community surrounded
by violence taught me about humility, taught me about admitting the
fact that life is not perfect. For me, the learning there is to
believe in myself, to believe that I could do and achieve anything
I want.”
Isabel Vacas Páez, Manager, Accenture Digital,
Spain, who followed her mother’s advice and ignored those who
wanted to limit her future. Now, she urges women to “continue
growing and learning, and to be whatever they want to be.”
Tory Thorpe, Consultant, Health and Public Service,
Accenture Consulting, United Kingdom, who has combined her
passion for swimming and charity to raise nearly £50,000 for
charities in the United Kingdom since 2010.
