In her new role, Laycob will focus and strategize on USTOA's sustainability and DEI initiatives, with the ultimate goal of the job being to support the development and implementation of the group's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) platform.

Other job responsibilities for the GSI manager include defining a CSR roadmap aligned to the corporate strategy to engage members and deliver environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.
