CEO, Baxter International
“Throughout my life and more than three decades into my career, my mother’s advice continues to resonate. She taught me to be honest … look into people’s eyes … always have a Plan B … and countless other lessons that came to define my perspective and values. Though I lost her some time ago, her insights are forever with me, and I miss her every day.”
