Mariarosa Cutillo, who has served as Italian fashion brand Benetton Group’s corporate social responsibility manager since last January, is leaving her role at the company to join the United Nations Population Fund as chief of strategic partnerships. She will be based in New York.

The UN Population Fund helps women who are at risk of dying from pregnancy or childbirth complications and supports maternal health in some of the world’s poorest areas.

At Benetton, Cutillo served as the president and CEO of the UNHATE Foundation, which aims to fight against discrimination through communication campaigns along with projects in local communities that promote dialogue around the acceptance of diversity.

The UNHATE Foundation, which was founded by the Benetton Group, has partnerships with UN Women and the UN Department of Public Information.

Before joining Benetton, Cutillo served as director of Valore Sociale, a multi-stakeholder corporate social responsibility organization.
