At VF, we believe that professional development and growth are vital foundations that help our employees explore their passions and achieve greatness. As part of this exploration, VF EMEA employees can apply for the GIG program, which allows them to work on projects in a different function or brand to learn new skills, expand their network, and share their unique perspectives across the organization. Sara Scola, Retail Operations Coordinator at The North Face, a VF Company, shares highlights on how her GIGs helped her to shift careers from retail to VF EMEA's home office.

Today we lost our hero, mentor, and our friend. Hilaree Nelson held a spirit as big as the places she led us to. She embodied possibility. Her adventures made us feel at home in the vastness of the world. On September 26, 2022, Hilaree reached the true summit of Manaslu with her climbing and life partner Jim Morrison. During her ski descent, Hilaree was swept off her feet by moving snow, resulting in a fall down the south face of Manaslu. For us, Hilaree transcended the idea of an athlete, a sport or a community. She helped lead our family at The North Face, by being a teammate and team captain who changed our perspective of the outdoors by showing us exactly what it can mean. Her light will forever be an offering, and her optimism in the face of adversity, will forever be our guide. Our hearts are with Hilaree’s children, her family and her steadfast partner, Jim Morrison.
