Tiamat’s Executive Team
France is a visionary leader with a decade of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. France has established and grown Tiamat into a formidable presence in the plant-based biomolecule landscape, offering ecologically sound and ethically sourced raw materials to biotechnology companies, public research labs, and pharmaceutical actors.
As a female CEO, France has made it her mission to increase gender diversity in an industry where women are underrepresented.
“Being a CEO is difficult for everyone, and women leaders are scarce in the biotech industry, which makes it hard to find role models. There are times when I struggle to obtain the respect and attention I deserve. Unfortunately, mine is not a unique experience among women CEOs. This is a systemic issue, where we must constantly prove that we deserve our seat at the table.”
-France-Emmanuelle AdilTiamat CEO, Co-Founder
According to the National Science Foundation, women occupy only 18% of roles in biotechnology. Despite significant advancements in STEM fields, the underrepresentation of women remains a critical issue.
Promoting gender diversity in the workplace is not merely a matter of sentiment but is substantiated by empirical evidence indicating that businesses with increased female representation tend to achieve greater success.
Companies with a minimum of 30% female leaders show 50% higher revenue growth compared to their counterparts.
-Peterson Institute for International Economics and EY
Companies with diverse leadership, particularly women-led, outperform companies where only 10-30% of the team is woman-led.
-McKinsey & Company
Companies with at least one woman on their board tend to have better financial performance.
-Credit Suisse Research Institute
Companies with higher female representation in leadership positions exhibited higher returns on equity, better stock price performance, and improved profitability.
-Credit Suisse Research Institute
Companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 25% more likely to have above-average profitability compared to companies in the bottom quartile.
-McKinsey & Company
The benefits are clear, companies who embrace women in leadership outperform their counterparts. At Tiamat, CEO and Co-Founder France-Emmanuelle Adil is committed to fostering a balanced representation on her team. This isn’t just about meeting statistics; it’s about driving innovation, creating more inclusive solutions, and propelling Tiamat toward a future that is both equitable and prosperous.
