Their efforts made the decision so much easier.”

Beyond his professional achievements, Oshana is inspired by the company’s global impact and sustainability initiatives. “We’re leading investments in reducing our carbon footprint and going carbon-neutral by 2050,” he notes. “It’s exciting to work for a company making real-world differences.”
