Agon, whose presentation is titled "From Paris to Peshawar:

with the international beauty care firm,
assuming the CEO position in 2006.
In 1981, Agon was named general manager of L'Oreal Greece.
Five years later, he assumed the
role of general manager of L'Oreal Paris, and in 1994 he
was named managing director of L'Oreal
Germany. In 1997, he assumed the responsibility for all the
company's activities in Asia, including the
Professional Products, Consumer Products, Luxury Products
and Active Cosmetics lines. In 2001, he
was named president of L'Oreal USA, responsible for the
firm's largest single market.
The William M. and Katherine B. Ginder Lecture Fund brings
prominent speakers to the Carey
Business School to discuss timely and stimulating issues
relevant to the business community.
