I really spend a lot of time intentionally on building a very healthy culture... driving our strategies around customer centricity, operational excellence, employee engagement, and shareholder return." - Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann   "I decided to be really transparent about it and tell everyone far in advance... It really became a gift even though it was one of the hardest things we had to do." - Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann   "Enthusiasm is my superpower. I love enthusiasm.
