Benedicte Kodjo

Regional Business Director: Unilever

Benedicte comes from a mixture of horizons – namely the French Caribbean and West Africa. She graduated from HEC Paris, and holds a master’s degree in Philosophy and a PhD in French Literature from La Sorbonne University (Paris). She is a lover of words, and in them, finds inspiration and joy. Benedicte is a devoted mum, and often refers to herself as a turtle carrying her two children on her back. Previously with Lowe in Johannesburg, South Africa, Benedicte has been an integral part of the Lowe Dubai team for almost two and half years now, leading the Unilever portfolio into great territory and inspiring her colleagues to live the Unilever brands.
