So John, you recently moved from Hill’s Division President to Chief Growth Officer. Can you discuss your new role, what your biggest priorities are, where you see the most room for driving growth going forward in the organization incrementally?
John Hazlin
Chief Growth Officer
Yes. Thanks, Dara, and good morning, everybody. I did join as the Chief Growth Officer in July after having been at over at Hill’s for a couple of years. The fundamental role that I’m occupying now is leading our 2030 strat plan and building capabilities that we can scale and drive across the company.
Noel often talks about our purpose, and that really headlines the way we think about the business, which is that we are an innovative growth company, reimagining a healthier future for all people, their pets and the planet. And so the priorities then stem from that. And I would articulate the first priority is always about having strong brands.
