00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:15.780
<v ->Hi, I'm Kristin Peck, CEO of Zoetis</v>

3
00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:19.380
and I'm honored to be among BCG's 2022

4
00:00:19.380 --> 00:00:22.770
North American DEI Alumni Award winners.

5
00:00:22.770 --> 00:00:26.520
First, I want to thank Rich Lesser, an incredible mentor,

6
00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.970
and BCG for the invaluable experiences I gained

7
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.910
early in my career which shaped my sense of purpose

8
00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:36.780
as a leader committed to bringing out the best in others.

9
00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:39.630
Second, I want to thank my Zoetis colleagues

10
00:00:39.630 --> 00:00:41.550
for living our purpose as a company

11
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:44.100
that's nurturing the world and humankind

12
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.783
by advancing care for animals.

13
00:00:47.610 --> 00:00:49.950
I'm incredibly proud of the progress

14
00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:52.230
Zoetis has made in our aspirations

15
00:00:52.230 --> 00:00:55.470
to support colleagues and cultivate a safe,

16
00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:58.323
flexible, diverse, and inclusive workplace.

17
00:00:59.970 --> 00:01:03.000
Our DEI journey started with being transparent

18
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.970
around the state of diversity in our organization,

19
00:01:05.970 --> 00:01:10.080
making that information public internally and externally.

20
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:12.990
From there, we set metrics for where we wanted to go

21
00:01:12.990 --> 00:01:16.740
in the next five years with a clear path to get there.

22
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:18.240
And we are now well on our way

23
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:19.683
to achieving our objectives.

24
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.820
Today, we have 54 percent men

25
00:01:23.820 --> 00:01:26.580
and 46 percent women in the organization.

26
00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:29.160
We set clear targets by 2025

27
00:01:29.160 --> 00:01:31.650
to have 40 percent women represented

28
00:01:31.650 --> 00:01:33.420
at Director level and above

29
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.733
and people of color at 25 percent.

30
00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:40.890
My experience at BCG instilled three key lessons

31
00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:42.630
that shaped the leader I am today.

32
00:01:42.630 --> 00:01:45.780
First, the importance of listening.

33
00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:48.300
Understanding your clients is a huge priority

34
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:50.070
for a global consulting firm

35
00:01:50.070 --> 00:01:52.590
and builds empathy which is so critical

36
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:54.960
for leading in challenging times.

37
00:01:54.960 --> 00:01:58.110
Second, the value of inclusion.

38
00:01:58.110 --> 00:02:00.750
Learning from others who have championed my success

39
00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:03.720
and helped me be the best version of myself.

40
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.650
And third, the power of broadening perspectives.

41
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.140
The ability to tap into different insights

42
00:02:10.140 --> 00:02:11.580
of my BCG colleagues

43
00:02:11.580 --> 00:02:14.384
to understand different sides of a problem.

44
00:02:14.384 --> 00:02:16.967
