Strauss Group, publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, operates in over 20 countries with nearly 14,000 employees worldwide. In the past decade, the Group has consistently achieved growth, generating more than $2.5B in sales in 2019, and is comprised of four core business units: Strauss Israel, Strauss Coffee, Sabra-Obela Fresh Dips and Spreads, and Strauss Water.

Prior to assuming her role in 2001, Ms. Strauss had served in several executive positions in the Group, and also held positions in Estée Lauder International and on the Supervisory Board of Royal Numico. For decades, she has taken an active role in social affairs, and in recent years, has focused on corporate governance, diversity and inclusion, and highlighting women's empowerment. Ms. Strauss served as chairwoman of the Israel-America Chamber of Commerce until June 2018, and up until late 2017, also chaired Jasmine, an association of Arab and Jewish female entrepreneurs.
