“I was fortunate to work both for and with Josh during my time at Kimberly-Clark. Josh is a true thought leader when it comes to digital transformation, consumer experience, and 1st party relationships. It doesn't stop at thought leadership though. Josh has the skills to put the thought into action by leading global, cross functional teams across lead markets in agile pilots. When thinking about driving transformation inside a company Josh has the ability to work at all levels of the organization and the story telling skills to help all levels see the light of the transformation Josh is driving. There are very few people that I've worked with that have the drive, the passion, and both the soft and technical skills that Josh displays on a daily basis. For anyone looking for a senior leader to leads teams driving transformation Josh is the right person for the job.”
