As part of her Voices in Transformation podcast, supply chain influencer Maria Villablanca speaks to Unilever’s Data and Tech Supply Chain Lead Adam Raeburn-James and Supply Chain Learning Lead Jane Mackie on our approach of combining technological advancement with strategic talent development to drive business results.

They discuss how the business went from AI not being in its skills taxonomy three years ago to AI becoming a key focus across Unilever today.

In 2024, we trained over 23,000 colleagues in AI. This focus on skills is democratising job opportunities and opening new career avenues for employees.
