Mom was a housewife; Dad was an accountant. They taught me a lot about the value of working hard.

The best thing a company can do for the communities in which it operates is to have a vibrant and sustainable business.

Exposure to a diversity of disciplines has been exceptionally helpful to me.

Mondelez International is a proud signatory to the New York Declaration on Forests, an important step to unite governments, NGOs and business to slow and then end forest loss. We can't act alone to halt deforestation or climate change, so we call on everyone to play a role. While it won't be easy, I believe this agenda is achievable if we link it directly to business goals.
