“I am humbled and delighted to receive this prestigious award. India has shaped my values; it is where I grew up, where I completed my education, and where I spent 40 years of my life, including two decades of my professional career,” she told ET after being chosen for the Global Indian Award. “This award is a recognition of Chanel, an iconic and admired luxury brand, and our teams across the world. We believe in the freedom of creation, encouraging human potential and acting to have a positive impact in the world.”
De Sibio and EY global managing partner, Andy Baldwin, played a key role in getting Indian EY partners a better deal than the rest of the geographies who had signed on the Everest plan. As per the terms of the deal, Indian advisory partners were to receive 10-12 times their annual earnings, while audit partners were promised up to four times their annual compensation. Additionally, Indian employees who became partners in FY22 were included in the final deal.
