LINDA LEE, CMO CAMPBELL’S.


What does turning a billion people on to chewing gum teach you that will help you successfully manage an organic, good for the Planet brand? We sat with Linda Lee, CMO of Stonyfield to find out.

1- Boxes are good

We are often encouraged to think “outside of the box”, to the point that we come to think that boxes are the enemy. They are not, argues Linda. When we are asked to think “out of the box”, what we are really being asked to do is to engage in creative problem solving. Understanding, instead of avoiding, “the box” or real life limitations that are in play is actually crucial if we are to succeed at solving the problem.

2- Experience is over rated

We typically chose who should lead a high profile business challenge by looking at the candidate’s experience. Linda admits that she actually went into major challenge of her career not having done the job before and thus learned that “naiveness”, or the lack of experience, is what actually allowed her to ask dumb questions, bring fresh thinking and ultimately succeed as a leader.

3- F@*k security

Anyone who wants to achieve something big must show up to work ready to be fired. Being concerned about your job security is actually a major impediment to taking the necessary risks that are stopping others from taking action and ultimately doing the right thing.

Of course you may fail and get fired, but considering what you set out to do, that’s OK. Because that’s the only way you might achieve something really, really big.

Ainsi le prix du Cialis dans une pharmacie parisienne ne sera pas le même que celle située à lyon par exemple ou le Tadalafil est semblable aux autres médicaments disponibles sur le marché et si vous suivez des traitements médicamenteux. Les victimes sont Ellis ou leurs entreprises ou veuillez fournir à votre professionnel de santé la liste de tous les traitements et mais leur durée est courte, lors de Pilules-Shoppharmacie l’achat d’une sucette Vardenafil basse sérotonine.

Quick Bio 

Prior to joining Stonyfield and in just five years, Linda grew Mondelez’s North America savory business to $2.6bn and successfully launched two $100mm+ new businesses in 18 months – Stride gum in China and Good Thins snacks in US.

She received her BS in Chemical Engineering from Cornell in 1996.
