Gui Athia | Corporate Compliance | Stakeholders Relations

After decades of leading the stakeholder relations for Fortune 500 companies in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Gui Athia has designed a new, inclusive, stakeholder governance system - the 5A.

In 2020 I presented the 5A to diverse audiences in Europe, Brazil, and Asia, invited by The Fletcher School, AmCham, ESPM Leadership Academy, IBGC, and others.

In short, the 5A governance system is: Adopt a multi-stakeholder structure with a Chief Stakeholder Officer or a permanent committee with rotation leadership, to Anticipate all risks and opportunities, Analyze a true joint strategy, Act consistently, and Advance with your teams.
