diversity, equity and inclusion Officer for Prada North America. She
will help the luxury brand develop policies, strategies and programs
to help ensure a diverse representation of cultures and perspectives
at all levels of the company, and will report to Prada USA CEO,

and expertise in leading diversity initiatives will help Prada to
further its mission.
“Malika is a dynamic, impact driven leader and I am excited to

corporate social responsibility, in a press release. “She brings a
wealth of exceptional skills and experiences to Prada and I, and the
entire executive team, look forward to working alongside her to
strengthen our culture and diversity and inclusion efforts within the
company and throughout the fashion industry.”
In her new role with Prada, Savell will work closely with the
company’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Council, as well as the
creative and design teams to keep the company information on global
social awareness around race, culture and politics.
“For over a century, Prada’s visionary work has shaped the course
of the fashion industry and continues to connect individuals and
creatives worldwide through a shared appreciation of innovation,
style, and quality,” Savell commented. “I’m honored to be part of a
strong leadership team that supports our talented employees by
enhancing the company culture and global influence to ensure that the
Prada Group continues to reflect the diverse world we live in.”
