Creator. Pathfinder. Guide.
35 years at the world’s largest CPG --- so what? You learn quickly that the path to success at a consumer products giant is all about driving clarity to deliver results. Enter Judi Kletz.
Whether it’s sales, marketing, communications or industry/reputation (she served in all four functions at P&G) success is benchmarked by:
Establishing clear and succinct strategies and goals
Building the best teams
Establishing process and plans
Delivering a point of difference and ultimately
Creating competitive advantage.
Today, Judi leverages her unique insights and perspectives that served as the foundation of her work in corporate America to assist clients with strategic focus, marketplace engagement and measurable ROI. Empowering clients to articulate their strategy using effective communication, she pushes them to see the broader landscape and ‘own what they’re good at’ verses pigeonholing them into a mundane protocol.
She is best known for taking on work with no defined path and creating new capabilities. Her innate ability to bring together disparate groups to align, create and execute strategic top-to-top partnerships is best in class. Her client list includes AARP, USO, Special Olympics, Operation Homefront, American Heart Association to name a few.
Thought leadership and influence are at the precipice of how she evaluates her success with clients. She speaks from current (member of APCO’s International Affairs Council) and past (FMI, NACDS) chair seats as well as is the recipient of multiple awards, including the 2016 Women of Excellence Award, 2019 Top Women in Health and Beauty Award and, most recently, the 2020 Top Women in Grocery Trailblazer Award.
When she’s not hard at work, she’s hard at play: either at the gym, walking her 14-year old rescue dog, creating masterpieces on canvas, and last but definitely not least, spending time with her two adult daughters and her husband either traveling to unique spots around the world or enjoying time in their own backyard—our nation’s capital, Washington, DC.
