Why is Judith one of my Diamond Dozen?
People are a key ingredient in product development. They design, make and use them. They are a valuable source of insight and inspiration. Successful product and people developers have the Creative Enabler mindset and when I met Judith at TeenTech Surrey I knew she was the real deal. Her understanding of healthcare products, enthusiasm for her subject and her encouragement of others make her part of my Diamond Dozen.
My description of Judith in six words…
Chemistry champion developing products and people.

During her 23-year career with P&G she worked across many categories including Health Care, Oral Care, Beauty Care and Prestige; finally specialising in fragrance analysis. Her close collaboration with perfumers included highlights like recreating the smell of cricket and the scent of the Hugo Boss racing yacht.
