Anik is an accomplished global communications and corporate relations executive with more than two decades of experience shaping strategy, reputation, and stakeholder engagement in some of the world’s most complex, high-profile industries.
Anik began her career in Canada, where she combined her studies in law with early roles in government and public affairs. She served as a press secretary and political attaché to the Québec Minister for Finance, gaining firsthand insight into policy, media, and the intricate relationship between government and business.
Her corporate career began at Alcan (later part of Rio Tinto), where she spent over a decade in senior communications and external-relations roles. There, she helped shape Alcan’s reputation as a global leader in industrial innovation and sustainability, with responsibilities that spanned internal communications, brand management, and crisis preparedness.
In 2008, Anik joined Anglo American plc as Group Head of Corporate Communications. She was later appointed Group Director of Corporate Relations and joined the Group Management Committee. In this capacity, she led the company’s global communications, government relations, brand, and sustainability engagement strategies. Under her leadership, Anglo American’s corporate relations function evolved from a traditional communications unit into a forward-looking platform for stakeholder partnership and purpose-driven business.
Today, Anik is widely regarded as a leader in corporate reputation management, stakeholder strategy, and purpose-driven business transformation. Her experience spans government, industry, and the global non-financial landscape, giving her a rare understanding of how large organisations earn trust in a rapidly changing world.
She is also the founder of Lemon Appeal, a lifestyle brand, which comprises an e-commerce, hospitality and Agritech businesses, celebrating and collaborating with artisans and producers of lemon-based products in Southern Italy.
