EXECUTIVE INSIGHT
Lastly , I ’ m an avid reader and , in between meetings and bites of my lunch , I ’ m consuming industry news and trend research to inspire new thinking and push us out of our comfort zone .
Q . HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE ?
» I ’ m a life-long athlete . There are so many lessons in the training , camaraderie and competition that sports require . So , it ’ s probably no surprise that I often think about our operations team as a sports team – everyone has a role to play to execute our playbook . We either win together or we lose together .
I enjoy engaging in dialogue and the opportunity to challenge ideas and be challenged . The best teams are always willing to disrupt themselves when new information or outcomes demand it . I expect all discussions to be data-driven with well-thought-out alternatives and recommendations that will yield strong outcomes and I encourage candor and welcome tough questions . But ultimately , like any good coach , I am decisive and unafraid of tough choices . Once a decision is made , I ’ m here to remove roadblocks and help the team move with speed .
Q . HOW DOES KENVUE ENSURE IT IS A DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE PLACE TO WORK ?
» At Kenvue , our work is to put the power of everyday care into the hands of consumers around the world . But we start with our team and take actions every day to foster an inclusive workplace culture and create a sense of belonging for all . We believe that bringing diverse backgrounds and perspectives together helps us drive innovation and deliver solutions that exceed consumer expectations and create longterm value . Our approach is focused on building a workforce that reflects our world , fostering a workplace where everyone belongs and supporting a marketplace that serves all people .
Q . HOW IS THE COMPANY NURTURING THE NEXT GENERATION OF FEMALE SUPPLY CHAIN PROFESSIONALS ?
» Growing up , I was deeply passionate about math and science and I ’ m forever grateful to my father who championed my passion , challenging me at every level to succeed . Fast forward , I have three incredible grown daughters , each successful in their own right , and sit alongside several brilliant women both on the Kenvue Leadership Team and the Operations Leadership Team . Nurturing female professionals in a field where they are historically underrepresented is deeply personal to me .
Aside from my responsibilities as COO , I ’ m proud to serve as an executive sponsor of our Women at Kenvue impact network – a group of more than 2,500 members that champions women and promotes diversity , equity and inclusion – and to champion our Equity in STEM program , which identifies opportunities to support students , regardless of race , gender , sexual orientation , ability and socio-economic status and help them access resources throughout their educational journey .
