“WE BELIEVE THAT BRINGING DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS AND PERSPECTIVES TOGETHER HELPS US DRIVE INNOVATION ”
MERI STEVENS , CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER , KENVUE
Q . TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR CAREER SO FAR
» I ’ m proud to serve as the Chief Operations Officer at Kenvue , the world ’ s largest pure-play consumer health company by revenue and maker of iconic brands like Neutrogena , Listerine , Aveeno and Tylenol .
I ’ m an engineer , a mum and a passionate skier with 40 years dedicated to optimising businesses through digitally-enabled operations . When I started in manufacturing and grew through multiple functions , businesses and industries , I could not have imagined how the world and our role as leaders would evolve . The biggest change is managing the complexity and volatility of our environments , the diversity of our teams and the speed and agility required to succeed . To execute at Kenvue , we have built a strong , experienced team ; a prioritised transformation strategy ; and aligned across the organisation . Combined , these have allowed us to exit the pandemic and separate from Johnson & Johnson to become an independent company , delivering on Kenvue ’ s ability to meet demand , unlock value and drive sustainability .
