I describe my career path as a zigzag, not a ladder.
Life's a balancing act. You have multiple roles and goals, and you can do it all - just not all at once.
The path to diversity begins with supporting, mentoring, and sponsoring diverse women and men to become leaders and entrepreneurs.
Being an iconic food company can be both a blessing and a curse. It can be a curse if, amidst change, you maintain the status quo. It is a blessing if you leverage the change coupled with capability to seize new opportunities.
I know there are no sure bets or overnight miracles.
Innovation requires an experimental mindset.
The leader is the person who brings a little magic to the moment.
I think you have to see two steps ahead of things. That's just the way I roll.
Through his deferential yet decidedly determined demeanor, Pope Francis is not only setting a superior spiritual standard, but he is also leading a thorough transformation of the Catholic Church - rivaling any brand revitalization or corporate turnaround you could name.
It is not about finding a work-life balance, but, rather, it's about work-life integration. I've learned to integrate my work and life so that the two exist as harmoniously as possible and priorities can be set.
If you want a CEO role, you have to prepare for it with a vengeance.
There's no one way to the top. Make your own opportunities. See around corners. Raise your hand for assignments.
I've been preparing to run a big company all my life.
My parents had job jars because my father would say, 'Kids today have too much time, too much money and no responsibility. You're going to have no time, no money and a lot of responsibility.'
The thing that I learned early on is you really need to set goals in your life, both short-term and long-term, just like you do in business. Having that long-term goal will enable you to have a plan on how to achieve it.
Most corporations have human-resources processes that involve discussions with your manager, performance evaluations, calibrations for performance and potential succession planning.
I can cite numerous sponsors at different places in my career that made a huge difference for me just in terms of pulling me aside and giving me a tip or some coaching, or just watching what I was doing and not being afraid to tell me the truth about it.
I was so results-oriented.
I do think the position I play is a powerful position.
I am one of four girls and was inspired by my father to dream big. Some girls want to be doctors, but I wanted to run a company.
Through the Internet of things, 'connected kitchens' will alert consumers if they're running low on broth and when their salad dressing needs to be replenished.
With the growth of both urbanization and globalization, consumers are becoming increasingly disconnected from their food.
The next frontier in nutrition will be about reconfiguring diets according to individual specific physiology, lifestyle, and health goals.
We're all different ages, sizes, shapes, genders, and we all have different lifestyles. We're quickly moving to bespoke diets that enable tailored and informed nutritional food choices.
Not every great idea needs to be Campbell-generated. It's clear that partners and vendors and other external sources will generate innovative ideas for us.
The top principle for disruptive and sustaining innovation is that it has to have a laser focus on customers. Innovation begins with their needs and expectations.
I see the world through Irish eyes, and they are smiling.
For me, living a balanced life means nurturing the academic, physical, and spiritual aspects of my life so I can maintain a sense of well-being and self-esteem.
The personal mission statement was important for me because I believe that you can't lead others unless you have a strong sense of who you are and what you stand for.
We tend to treat eating and diets as one size fits all. But the human body is very personalized.

There is power in helping people get excited about what they do and inspiring and motivating them to unleash their full potential.
People need to be in charge of their development plan. They need to seek out their sponsors and their mentors and be very strategic.
Networking is working.
I see more people taking charge of their well-being through the use of data and digital sensors, wearable health bands, and smartphone apps that can track and quantify everything from their heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep quality to steps walked and calories consumed.
We are moving closer to a future where quantified lives will become the norm.
Working with some outside consultants or people that really can bring you an external perspective or a benchmarking to identify opportunities is a really good way to work.
We need to be in front of consumer trends and translate those trends into insights and foresights.
I've always believed consumers have a right to know what's in their food.
I purposely put myself in new, stressful situations so that I can continuously learn.
The world of marketing has changed. You can lead the change or be a victim of change.
