• • Identify, quantify, and neutralize regulatory risks before they become business disruptions; present scenario-based mitigation plans to senior leadership and influence go/no-go decisions with data-driven confidence.
• • Represent Clorox and Burt’s Bees externally in trade associations, coalitions, and regulatory working groups; build trusted relationships with FDA, Health Canada, and other agencies to shape policy and champion science-based standards that align with natural-product values.

• • Deliver measurable business outcomes: faster launch timelines, reduced regulatory-related delays, stronger consumer trust metrics, and expanded market access—all while upholding Clorox’s commitment to do the right thing for people, planet, and communities.
