NEW INTERNATIONAL KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER:
GRAZIA POLIDORI

Think of business relationships as a space for shared creation. In today’s world of cooperation and partnerships, long-term sustainable ecosystems are built on mutual respect, transparency and shared value. After all, people prefer to do business with people they know, like and trust.

Hello! I’m Grazia Polidori. I’m a passionate and dynamic Global Sales Executive with 20 years of experience in driving strategic growth across international projects and markets in B2B Professional & Institutional Hygiene and Away-from-Home (AfH).

As a Global Strategic Account Leader, I specialize in managing a multi-million-euro enterprise portfolio, developing international market expansion strategies and building global sales teams to establish high-value partnerships across Hospitality, Healthcare, Facility Management and the Industrial Sector. I also have extensive experience in leading cross-border integrations following acquisitions and mergers, ensuring smooth transitions, organizational transformation and operational excellence.

My leadership style is people-oriented while maintaining a strong focus on results. I am deeply committed to developing teams and talents through training, coaching and mentorship in a collaborative environment. At the same time, I believe strongly in continuous professional and personal growth, centered around evolutionary leadership and emotional intelligence. Mentoring the next generation of leaders is especially important to me and, in my view, essential for building long-term organizational resilience.

I also enjoy sharing knowledge and exchanging perspectives as a guest speaker and panel moderator within the cleaning and hygiene industry. Communicating across cultures is part of who I am: I speak English, German, French, Spanish and Italian and have been featured in publications including the European Cleaning Journal (ECJ) and GSA News.
