I Think It's Critical That You Feel

You Know, You Go Home And You Try On A New Mascara, And I Guess A Male Ceo Can't Do That.

Avon Is A Unique Place To Work; We've Got Family-friendly Policies. We Have More Senior Women In High-level Management Than Any Other Company; 46 Percent Of Our Officers Are Women.

The Company Was Actually Founded On Creating Earnings Opportunities For Women, Even Before It Went Into Skincare, Lipstick, And Fragrance. The Founding Avon Principle, Before Women Could Vote And When Basically Only Men Were Working, Was To Allow Women To Get Out Of Their Homes And To Create An Entrepreneurship Opportunity For Them.

I Think The Economic Empowerment Of Women That Has Been Growing Over The Past Decade Is At The 'inflection Point' With This Global Recession. Women Are, We Believe, The Solution For Their Families In Their Ability To Go Out And Increase Household Income.

There Are Pros And Cons Of Experience. A Con Is That You Can't Look At The Business With A Fresh Pair Of Eyes And As Objectively As If You Were A New Ceo. Fire Yourself On A Friday Night And Come In On Monday Morning As If A Search Firm Put You There As A Turn-around Leader. Can You Be Objective And Make The Bold Change?
