Beatrix Praeceptor

Beatrix Praeceptor is an experienced Supply Chain and Procurement Executive. Recently joining Greiner Packaging as CEO, she was formerly the Chief Procurement Officer at Mondi Group, where she led a great team of 65 colleagues worldwide and managed a spend of over 4 billion €. Mondi has a strong focus on sustainability and responsible business practices covering products, people, and our planet. Incorporating this into the way they manage their supply chain was her key focus area.

Having started her management career at the age of 23 years in a Hungarian Plant of Philips, Beatrix has worked in three different global industries (Philips / consumer electronics, Lafarge / building materials, and Mondi / paper and packaging) providing her a wide experience of working in a (male-dominated) corporate environment with very different cultures and challenges. Supporting other women in overcoming - or avoiding - some of the obstacles to a successful career is one her of motivations to be a mentor.

She can support mentees in many ways:

• support in developing a strategy and plan to realize it in a cooperative environment

• understanding how to better communicate with stakeholders towards successful interaction (also the male/female interaction)

• or just being a sounding board for personal and professional questions over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee .. whatever helps! 

Growing up in Canada and Italy before coming to Austria has shaped her passion for internationality and working with different cultures. She was lucky to work in and with many different countries over the past decades. 

Beatrix lives in Vienna, with her three grown-up children (2 daughters, and one son) a husband, and a dog.

She loves doing any kind of sports, to compensate for her love for good food and good wine.
