Our goal is to combine the resilience, creativity and accountability of entrepreneurship at the operating level with the expertise that world-class leaders can bring to functions that are common across our businesses – food safety, marketing, human resources, finance, logistics, manufacturing and Six Sigma. We added additional breadth to our leadership talent this year by recruiting three senior executives to lead food safety, marketing and logistics, who bring global best practices to their areas of responsibility. They will drive key parts of our strategic agenda: to become a food safety leader; building our strength in consumer packaged foods innovation and marketing; and achieve greater efficiency and cost reductions across our supply chain.
