Mentors and how have they assisted you in your career: No one makes it alone! I have been so fortunate to have incredible mentors throughout my career. They have served as guides, counselors and friends during my career journey. They are people I admire and respect- they lead by example.
What are you most proud of in your career achievements? Do you have a defining moment of your career to date? I am proud of developing, launching and leading great brands- during my time at P&G I led iconic brands like Crest, Scope, Glide, Whitestrips and Oral B. I am very proud of the role my team played in turning around the P&G Oral Care business. It was an incredible journey. I have also been fortunate to play a leadership role at Safeway. Another amazing brand! I am most proud of the role I have played in helping people reach their career goals,
I think defining moments happen throughout your career. The most defining is picking the companies you work for- I have always been guided by aligning with companies that share my core values.
Advice for upcoming younger executives: My advice is follow your passion and surround yourself with people you admire/respect. Life is short and a career is over in the blink of an eye. Find a company that is aligned with your core values.
Hobbies: My hobby is spending time with my family. I have two little girls and a wonderful husband. When I am out of the office- they are my focus.
