Persán is Spanish family-owned business, founded in 1941, with an operations presence in 3 countries, Spain, France and Poland. The company has grown substantially in the last couple of years and is now a leader in Europe in the development and manufacture of home care and personal care products. Persán has a clear goal which is to became one of the world's leading companies in the home care sector whilst keeping the culture of the simplest multinational in the world.
Rapid growth and big ambitions meant that Persán needed to add outside knowledge to develop a structure and culture that can support and go beyond these goals. Ana Dias joined at the end of 2022 as the first Chief Procurement Officer from outside of the business. With extensive experience across multi-nationals within the food and beverage sector Ana has been tasked with an exciting opportunity – revolutionise procurement. Ana offers a great insight into what she has inherited, the ambition, the challenges, the opportunity, and the blue print.
