QVC's Claire Watts on her Mentors' Best Advice

 

Best mentor: “When I first started out in the executive training program at May Company, the SVP of marketing, Jo Lawley, took time to mentor me and help me to grow as a merchandising professional. Jo was the first executive who helped me understand that my passion for creativity and my passion for numbers were not mutually exclusive, and the “unlock” was the ability to tap into both of them. Later, during my time at Limited Inc., Cheryl Turpin, then CEO, inspired me to really push myself and stretch beyond my comfort zone.”
