Stanislav (Standa) Vecera leads P&G’s operations in Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa (AMA) — 17,000 diverse employees serving consumers with superior products and services in more than 100 countries.

An inspirational and passionate business and organization leader, Standa’s influence is also visible through his advocacy and personal leadership within the Company’s equality and inclusion, environmental sustainability and employee health and well-being efforts.
