Dear Friends,
I’m pleased to share with you an exceptional analytical piece concerning Putin
and Russia. John Pepper, the author, has served in numerous notable positions
and roles, including former CEO and Board Chairman of Procter & Gamble. John’s
decision to take P&G to Russia (to both sell and manufacture there) has been a
huge success story.
While introducing P&G to Russia, John immersed himself in the country’s history
and culture, as well as in the worlds and lives of his Russian managers and
staff. He is widely known as a noble American businessman who exudes ethics,
integrity and the spirit of “giving back” to the countries in which his
businesses have operated.
While John was working in St.Petersburg, he led an initiative to develop a high
quality School of Business. He began a funding campaign and obtained the
support of the academic leadership at St. Petersburg State University. Thanks
largely to his efforts, the city gave the University two all-but-destroyed 19th
century palaces for the first buildings of the new School of Management. It was
here that my life intersected with John’s work. The project needed a respected
US-based 501C3 organization through which to receive donations and pay bills
for renovating the two palaces. I was delighted by the concept and invited to
sit on the board. CCI became the U.S. NGO for this amazing project––giving me
the opportunity to begin a long-term friendship with this remarkable man.
John has met President Putin. He hasn’t had opportunity to get to know him
well, but has followed his rise to international stature closely. Enjoy his
latest ideas inspired by Steven Lee Myers’ book.
Sharon
