On this International Women's Day, I'm inspired to share a story close to my heart—a story of transformation, empowerment, and unity within the CPG industry. Meet my client, a talented CPG professional with a knack for innovation and an eye for market trends. Her journey wasn't straightforward. As a woman in a highly competitive and traditionally male-dominated industry, she faced numerous challenges: from being overlooked for promotions to having her ideas dismissed in important meetings. Despite these setbacks, she remained resilient. She recognized the power of collaboration and the strength found in lifting each other up. She took a bold step forward and founded a mentorship program within her company aimed at supporting and empowering women. This initiative wasn't just about career advancement; it was about creating a culture where women's voices were heard, valued, and celebrated. The impact was profound. The program grew, creating a network of women across different departments and levels, all united in their desire to support one another. Success stories began to emerge—women securing leadership roles, launching successful products, and driving innovation within their teams. This transformation within my client's company is a microcosm of what's possible across the entire CPG industry. It's a reminder that when we support each other, we not only overcome challenges but also pave the way for a more inclusive, equitable, and vibrant industry. On this International Women's Day, let's commit to empowering the women around us. Whether through mentorship, advocacy, or simply lending an ear, every action counts. Together, we can build a CPG industry where women thrive, lead, and inspire the next generation of female leaders. To all the women in CPG and beyond, your courage, creativity, and determination make the world a better place. Let's continue to break barriers and build bridges. Happy International Women's Day! 🌷 Check out the comments for links for the best groups devoted to advancing women! #InternationalWomensDay #cpgindustry #cpg #cpgmentor #nextup #femalesinfood
I feel incredibly grateful for the many women mentors who supported me throughout my time at Kraft Foods, whether they were assigned to me or just happened to cross my path at the right time. Despite being the only female among 20 newly assigned regions at my first RVP meeting, I was also lucky to have the support and respect of the men of Kraft Foods as well. My journey from Maxwell House Coffee Company in 1987 to Kraft Foods in 2007 was a remarkable one, and it wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and support of all the women in every function of the organization. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation and say thank you to all the amazing ladies out there. You inspire me every day!" Salute ~ Peggy
