ABOUT MARK A. PETTIFORD

I work in the heart and soul of a competitive and innovative field within consumer products and I enjoy the fast pace and complexity of my leadership role with Johnson & Johnson where we maintain a dominant share in several categories including, Baby Care, Skin Health, Haircare, Over the Counter Medicines, Wound Care, Topicals and Vision Care. I specialize in thought leadership and influencing with both internal and external partners to rally around key initiatives and new ideas to expand profitable growth. I enjoy thinking big-picture, devising long term strategy and also moving with speed and efficiency. I recognize problems before others see them and perform well in rapidly changing environments. I have a natural drive to achieve results and truly enjoy developing leaders and building teamwork. I am enormously passionate about advancing Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and closing disparities in Healthcare. Throughout my career, I have led several large businesses within some of the leading healthcare, beauty, consumer and grocery companies to drive success in various areas of business management. I credit my success to many who have supported and helped me, my constant desire to improve, learn and lead while being humble, open-minded and inclusive in my approach. I see the world around me for the possibilities and I enjoy tackling difficult tasks and situations to deliver the best possible outcomes. Most people who come to know me, characterize me as an intuitive person who is assertive and also balanced in terms of “the-what” and “the-how”. My \"Life Motto\" is to be Authentic and Driven By Doing What\'s Right. My goals for the future are to take this wonderful Johnson & Johnson opportunity and help lead our organization to even greater heights. I have big plans and love winning!
