Chief Data Analytics and AI Officer, Thermo Fisher Scientific CRG & Adjunct faculty at Carnegie Mellon University & Rutgers Business School ### NO SALES CALLS PLEASE ###
Thoughts for Friday: Last day at Zoetis edition: The greatest adventures begin with a step into the unknown; farewell and bon voyage. - How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard - Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened - Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end - Sunsets are proof that endings can be beautiful - We must accept the end of something in order to begin to build something new - Just because something ends doesn’t mean it never should’ve been. Remember, you lived, you learned, you grew and you moved on. I leave Zoetis with nothing but gratitude for the opportunities, empowerment and the great team mates. I end my amazing journey at Zoetis with gratitude and thanks knowing that I am leaving the company - at a better place than when I joined - with capabilities and partnerships that will outlast any one individual - with a successor who is an amazing leader who will take the data/analytics/AI agenda to greater heights than I ever could Congratulations J.D. Williams, Ph.D. on your appointment as the new Chief Data and Analytics Officer of Zoetis. Thank you to the many mentors, partners and team mates. I will forever be grateful to Wafaa Mamilli and Kristin Peck for trusting me and giving me a chance of a lifetime. I will be cheering, from the sidelines, for the continued success of Zoetis, a truly wonderful company. ADIEU and AU REVOIR
