Someone said she has no regrets, this wwd Tracey Travis. Sounds like she did good. But still, she’s leaving. Maybe she wants to do something else. She’s been on that Accenture board thing since 2017.

That Este Lauder place, they sell all them fancy creams and perfumes. My granddaughter, she likes that stuff. Says it makes her pretty. I told her, “You’re pretty without all that goop!” But young folks, they don’t listen. Anyway, Tracey Travis, she was in charge of the money for all that.
