FGX International

As a leading global designer and marketer of non-prescription glasses, putting the customer at the center has been the foundation of our 90-year heritage. Davy De Bondt, VP Head of Commercial FGXI EMEA & Asia leads the strategy to make Foster Grant a recognized and valued brand while creating a meaningful impact for our customers and consumers. For our Commercial team, the answers can be found in the data. Davy shares, "I believe in the power of data and persuasion and these are values I try to bring to the team every single day." To fuel success across our teams, it’s our responsibility to listen, adapt, and simplify where needed—but always back our choices with insights that drive real value. Today, Foster Grant continues to deliver innovative technology in fashionable and affordable styles. #WeAreFGX

And for that, we say, thank you today and every day.?? ? #WeAreFGX #EmployeeAppreciationDay2025

Breaking through barriers takes more than just skill—it takes passion and resilience. At FGX International, we are proud to spotlight Alin Gamez, Director, Supply Chain & Operations in Latin America, a trailblazer who has carved out her own path in what remains a heavily male-dominated industry. "My path has been long. It has required a lot of patience, preparation, and constant training—a lot of passion and, at times, resilience. However, an impeccable work ethic, authentic enthusiasm, and the ability to feel comfortable in this industry have been fundamental in strengthening my path and career in these areas." Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the impact of women who challenge the status quo. As we continue to champion inclusion, we celebrate the women shaping the future of FGX International. #WeAreFGX?#WomensHistoryMonth #InternationalWomensDay
