Mary Putman

As a marketing and industry leader, I have consistently delivered big wins throughout my career, backed by a proven track record of success. Being a passionate brand builder, marketer, and change agent, I fearlessly disrupt the status quo and relentlessly pursue high-impact results through a dynamic, innovative, and energizing approach.

I am a driving force behind our company's overall marketing strategy and vision, overseeing the development and success of our dynamic House of Brands, including Monogram, CAFÉ, GE Profile, GE Appliances, Haier, and Hotpoint. I lead and inspire my team to create and execute disruptive, insight-obsessed and results-driven marketing activities that encompass everything from brand development, consumer and market insights, industrial design, advertising, and marketing communications to merchandising, shows, pricing, promotions, experiential design and agency management.

A profound understanding of brand-building gives me the unparalleled experience to see the most favorable path forward. I continuously strengthen the relationship between our consumers and our products and services. In so doing, my goal is to move the consumer from needs and wants to an ‘obsessive desire’ for the product through creating and implementing strategies and visions that inspire.

As a leader, I seek to be energizing, strategic, approachable, authentic, and honest. I demand agility from myself and my team to deliver strategies, innovation, and execution that provide the greatest impact in the marketplace. Throughout my work, I am known as a hardworking and standout collaborator capable of forming strong relationships with senior leaders, team members and global and agency partners.

I simply love what I do, and in turn, seek to inspire others around me to greater heights. With great attitudes and a winner’s mindset, limitless possibilities can be achieved; this mantra forms the basis of my daily work.

My team means the world to me and I am fiercely dedicated to creating a work environment that is not just productive, but enjoyable and inspiring. I am committed to nurturing the talent of each and every individual on my team, creating a culture that enables them to thrive and achieve great things. To me, the greatest thrill comes from winning together and celebrating the journey as a team.
