She will speak about the impact that being an athlete had on her professional career. 

“I’d like to think I could have become chairman and CEO of Kraft Foods even if I hadn’t been an athlete, but I truly believe I am a more focused, more competitive, more successful leader as a result of my experience in sports.”

“The experience of honing my competitive skills really gave me a leg up as I came into the business world because women of my generation didn’t necessarily have the experience of being competitive and playing to win.”
