My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career. Andrea Jung
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.

Andrea Jung quote: "If you feel like it's difficult to change, you will probably..."
If you feel like it's difficult to change, you will probably have a harder time succeeding. Andrea Jung
Women are clearly the major consumers in far more than just female categories. It doesn't matter whether it is purchases of cars, cosmetics, or even products for men, female consumption power is the leading consumption power in the world. Any company that overlooks the woman as the decision maker is making a huge mistake. Andrea Jung
When a woman earns a dollar, the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children, in their education, health care, and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large. Andrea Jung
Andrea Jung quote: "I think it's critical that you feel you're working for a..."
I think it's critical that you feel you're working for a person who is committed to advancing your career. Andrea Jung
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. Andrea Jung
