In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, a commitment to continuous growth, learning, and personal development is necessary to foster an innovative and dynamic workforce.

As we wrap up the year, we look back on our focuses this year and celebrate our great achievements. Together with our colleagues, we look forward to continuing to create a world of better vision for all. #WeAreFGX

As 2024 comes to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on many of the accomplishments that we achieved as a result of our team's resilience, commitment, and collaboration. Sal Mauceri, President, FGX International shared a special message:    "The challenges of the past year have tested us, but they’ve also revealed the strength and determination of our team. We've tackled every obstacle with creativity, commitment, and with a drive to succeed together.   I am so proud of the many milestones we've achieved this past year. We formalized and launched a very exciting partnership; Wicked x Foster Grant, a collaboration with the recent movie release that is fast becoming a cultural phenomenon.    We have made significant progress in setting ourselves up for future growth as we grow our current customers and markets by winning with the consumer and by expanding in new markets and channels with the strength of our portfolio, brands and best in class in-store solutions. We launched an innovative new display concept in EMEA which is showing great early results.    These achievements wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and passion each one of you brings to the table every day.   As we close out the year, I’m grateful for each of you. Here's to a successful 2024 and an even brighter 2025!" #WeAreFGX

This year, FGX International and #FosterGrant focused on designing collections that answered the needs and wants of our consumers, creating the best value-focused sunglasses, reading glasses, and optical products. Matthew Coon, SVP Product Design & Development championed a team that embraced creativity, transparency, and collaboration. “Our team loves to work closely and share ideas and important considerations as we move the product, packaging, and displays through the key steps in the process.”   As a leader, Matthew is driven to define and guide team members with thoughtful planning and goal-setting. Fostering strong connections through open conversations, he aims to create opportunities for cross-functional teams to explore new ideas and solutions with excitement and energy.   Matthew shares his favorite piece of advice:   “Throughout my career, I have always remembered the quote from Sam Walton – 'There is only one boss: the customer.' Keeping a constant focus on the consumer allows me to keep moving in the right direction." #WeAreFGX

In celebration of the movie Wicked and the launch of our Wicked x Foster Grant collection, we invited employees in Smithfield, RI and NYC to spend "One Short Day in Emerald City". Across both events, over 150 #EssilorLuxottica colleagues were invited to experience the collection first-hand, try on the custom-designed frames, and celebrate the FGX teams who played a role in bringing it all to life.     The Wicked x Foster Grant collection is available at fostergrant.com and Amazon for a limited time. #WickedMovie #WickedxFosterGrant #WeAreFGX

"In any professional or personal journey, the pursuit of perfection can be paralyzing and counterproductive. It’s far more important to take consistent, meaningful steps forward, learning and improving along the way." Tom Burmester, SVP Global Head of Trade Marketing focuses on building trust and motivation among his team by promoting accomplishments and growth. Tom leads our Trade Marketing team responsible for driving the category demand, sales and efficiency among our partner retailers. By creating spaces where everyone has a voice and feels supported, we cultivate a shared sense of purpose and achievement. Everyone plays a part in our collective success. When leaders like Tom encourage open dialogue, cross-functional collaboration, and mutual respect, we learn, improve and make progress together. #WeAreFGX
