The path that led EsteeLauder's chief financial officer, Tracey Travis, to her present position has been somewhat unconventional yet one she believes more women should be encouraged to pursue.
Before becoming CFO at Lauder, Travis held the role at Ralph Lauren, L Brands , consumer packaging company Rexam and the business unit of Pepsi Bottling Group.
“If you look at the statistics of when girls start to either lose interest or aren’t engaged enough in STEM and math and science, it starts in middle school,” Travis said. “It then unfortunately continues through college, if they so choose to go to college, and that’s where I think we need more programs to intersect and get more girls interested in these careers.”
Travis also touched on the importance of uplifting other women in professional settings, whether that means encouraging someone to speak up in a meeting, or ensuring credit is given where credit is due. Travis said Lauder also feels a responsibility to take a stand when it comes to social issues, expressing open support of the Black Lives Matter Movement and solidarity with the AAPI community following the uptick in violence and discrimination Asian people have faced in recent years.
