With his background in engineering, he keeps Edgewell on the leading edge of product and mechanical innovation—applying the latest developments in science and technology to solve difficult business and technical challenges.

In his over 15-year history with our brands, William has come to embody our spirit of collaboration. He volunteered to temporarily move back to his former position on our automation engineering team to help launch the new Hydro platform. By all accounts, the program was ambitious, risky, and demanding. But above all, William recalls the project as demonstrating Teamwork in action. He uses both technical knowledge and creativity to deliver the very best products for our customers and consumers.

At work, William is a passionate leader. He’s an equally passionate co-leader at home. He and his wife Wendy are raising their two children, Danielle and Josh, in an atmosphere of “100% engagement.”

In her words, “complacency is our enemy.”

As a Supply Chain Director, Josephine is a vital link to colleagues across Edgewell’s global offices—and exemplifies collaboration in practice. Driven to find new ways to improve Edgewell’s processes, her perspective and energy is essential to our success.

Given our reach and the depth of our portfolio, connecting our customers with our products isn’t easy. That’s why Josephine relies on Passion and Teamwork to make this process work for everyone. Recalling an occasion when North America received an urgent, large order from a key customer, she and her team worked hand-in-hand with their EU counterparts to fulfill the request—and did so almost immediately. While they embodied Edgewell’s agility, the story also demonstrates her view on our challenge to win. In her words, Edgewell succeeds because we “think and act outside our comfort zone.”

When not directing our supply chain, Josephine likes to immerse in the classics—whether literature or music.

And because the goal of his work is to enable collaboration, he ensures his team sets the tone.

As dedicated as he is to our challenge to win, Michael is, equally, a dedicated father—and fan—of his family of athletes. He values every opportunity to play an active role in their lives and, as a volunteer coach, in his community.

Additionally, Initiative guides her in finding opportunities to collaborate and share knowledge—from emailing colleagues about market changes to contributing to cross-function brainstorms.

When not sifting through consumer insights, Gretchen loves to go the beach with her family and their bulldog. (And, on occasion, even defies insight by continuing the tradition during winter.)

Dedicated to improving our processes, Murdoch is grateful to his wife and son for keeping him on track at home. He’s a committed Celtic FC supporter, though based in England, and is doing everything in his power to raise an equally devoted fan.
