Executive Career Profile

"To look back now over the last 17 years, I can think of a number of things that have been essential to my advancement within Macy's, Inc. The first and most obvious is hard work. I have made it a point, over the course of my career, to become an expert at whatever my job is at any given moment. But, Macy's adds to that equation. It is an organization with a positive and motivating corporate culture and an extremely talented staff. As a result, Macy's has built an environment that embraces individuality, creativity and business savvy. The company is very focused on recognizing and rewarding good ideas and effective work and on promoting from within the organization. Our Annual Performance Review program, for example, is a proactive mechanism designed to make sure that we listen to and take action on the needs and goals of our employees. In addition, because of Macy's diversity of business opportunities and the access to great role models and mentors, our associates have a tremendous opportunity to continue to progress and grow."
