When a woman earns a dollar, the payback is higher. She'll invest in her children, in their education, health care, and basic needs. The impact of a woman's role in the economy benefits society at large.

The product is second to managing the people.
Andrea Jung
Since I'm a mother and a wife, I have to have passion or the frustration would win out. But I love managing people. The product is second to managing the people. And marketing to consumers is so challenging because it is evolving constantly.
Andrea Jung
It has given me a global vantage point, being the daughter of immigrants from China, who had nothing when they came here. And now I am leading a company. It speaks to something deep in me, the concept that you don't have to start with anything.
Andrea Jung
Women like myself, CEOs, can pave the way for more women to get to the top.
Andrea Jung
The company was actually founded on creating earnings opportunities for women, even before it went into skincare, lipstick, and fragrance. The founding Avon principle, before women could vote and when basically only men were working, was to allow women to get out of their homes and to create an entrepreneurship opportunity for them.
Andrea Jung
Women are clearly the major consumers in far more than just female categories. It doesn't matter whether it is purchases of cars, cosmetics, or even products for men, female consumption power is the leading consumption power in the world. Any company that overlooks the woman as the decision maker is making a huge mistake.
Andrea Jung
We also never undercut representatives' prices. A representative will always be able to sell the discounts in our core business, which are not offered at retail. So it's never more advantageous to buy there.
Andrea Jung
You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that.
Andrea Jung
The game in beauty is changing so much, if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips, reduce your lines, look glossy, and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick, but a $5 lipstick!
Andrea Jung
Women like to use products that other women say work. The Internet will be a big opportunity, but you cant smell a fragrance there yet.
Andrea Jung
I became CEO at the beginning of the hit on old economy stocks. When something like that occurs in your first six months as a CEO of a more traditional branded firm, it makes for a fast learning curve.
Andrea Jung
I feel like I'm part of history being made. I leave Apple board meetings thinking, 'I've got to do a better job.'
Andrea Jung
My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career.
Andrea Jung
Avon invented the concept of direct marketing and direct selling beauty. And that's still very valid to us. We'll have a firm that will be around for another 114 years as strongly as it was the first 114.
Andrea Jung
Some people just wait for someone to take them under their wings but they should just find someones wings to grab onto.
Andrea Jung
Talent is the No. 1 priority for a CEO. You think it's about vision and strategy, but you have to get the right people first.
Andrea Jung
Follow your compass, not your clock.
Andrea Jung
I can only have dinner with my girlfriends once a month instead of once a week.
Andrea Jung
I think it's critical that you feel you're working for a person who is committed to advancing your career.
Andrea Jung
No one in my family had a retail or marketing background. They were professionals. They didn't understand just what I was doing by going into retailing. After I started, though, it got into my blood. I knew this was what I wanted.
