“You can see people standing up now and demanding change. And I think that gives me hope and trust in the future. [...] What excites me really much is how we drive toward more resilient homes. And how we work, how we become even better working across industries and [talking] to each other and solving the right problems instead of the superficial problems. That's what excites me, but also, of course, that keeps me up at night."
–Tove Chevalley, Head of Electrolux Global Innovation Hub
