This coming week is my last one with The Coca-Cola Company. I am very excited about my next chapter and will post on it separately next week, but this week it will be bittersweet to say goodbye. Coca-Cola has been more than my employer for the last 15 years. It has been my family. It has provided me with tremendous opportunities and supported my development along the way. It has introduced me to as passionate, caring, and brilliant a set of people that anyone could ask for. And it has instilled in me a sense of purpose, as we all lived together our mission to refresh the world and make a difference.For the last 6 years, it has also afforded me the privilege to lead the Global Walmart Customer Team and serve the world's largest retailer. The lessons learned and the dear friends made while partnering to be Walmart's most valued supplier are ones that I will always be grateful for and will carry with me as I move forward. Thank you to my Coca-Cola family, my Walmart team (the best d@mn customer team in NWA!), my Walmart customer colleagues, and to the greater community of Northwest Arkansas, I am forever in your debt.#leadinggrowthtogether #grateful #thankyou
