Deborah Ann "Deb" Henretta is a senior adviser for General Assembly, a global education and technology company ^[1], as well as SSA & Company, a New York-based management consulting firm.^[2] Prior to her current position, Deb retired in 2015 from a successful, 30-year career at Proctor & Gamble, culminating in one of only two, top-level women executives for the consumer goods organization. [6]

Henretta was born May 1, 1961. She graduated summa cum laude from St. Bonaventure University with a BA in communications in 1983. She earned her MA in advertising research and teaching assistantship from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1985. Upon graduation, Henretta was hired by Proctor & Gamble as a Brand Assistant for Bold Laundry detergent. [7]

During the next fourteen years, Henretta received several promotions and worked her way up to Vice President of Global Fabric Conditioners and Bleach. One of the products she and her team were instrumental in introducing to the public was the fabric refresher, Febreze. [8]

In 1999, Henretta became Vice President of Proctor & Gamble’s North American Baby Care division. [7] She was charged with reversing the 10-year decline in sales of P&G’s disposable diapers, Pampers. Henretta and her team re-tooled the quality and images of the brand to one that was more appealing to consumers. They incorporated softer materials for the diapers and obtained licensed Sesame Street characters for the branding. Within two years, the business became profitable and remains a staple consumer product of Procter & Gamble. [5] They also expanded the line to include diapers for other children age groups, such as newborns and toddlers. By 2004, Henretta was promoted to President of Global Baby, Toddler and Adult Care. [7]

Between 2005 and 2012, Henretta headed Procter & Gamble's Asian operations, living in Singapore for seven years. During her tenure, she was challenged with addressing the needs of Asian consumers that encompassed a diverse array of cultural and economic backgrounds. By doing so, she helped expand P&G’s presence in the beauty care products line. [9]

While in Asia, Henretta was appointed as a U.S. representative to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)’s Business Advisory Council (ABAC). [10] The council meets with government officials to provide business perspectives about the economic climate in the Asian market.  In 2011, President Barak Obama appointed Henretta to chair the 21-member ABAC, making her its first woman chairperson. [9] Subsequently, she founded the ABAC Women’s Forum as a networking resource for other women in business. [9]

In 2012, Henretta’s mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer and she requested to return to Proctor & Gamble’s Cincinnati, Ohio headquarters. [11] In August 2012 she became the company's beauty chief.^[3] As the senior leadership maneuvered responsibility changes for the eventual succession to A.G. Lafley’s CEO post, she was replaced as group president of beauty in 2015 and named global president of e-commerce for P&G.^[4]  No longer considered a candidate for the CEO position; Henretta left retired from Proctor & Gamble in June, 2015.^[2] She used her time to assist her mother until her subsequent death in February, 2016. [11]

Henretta was featured in a Fortune Magazine article by Jennifer Reingold,

In 2016, she joined SSA & Company, a New York-based management consulting firm.^[2] She is also a senior adviser for General Assembly, a global education and technology company ^[1]

Henretta has appeared on the list of Fortune's 50 Most Powerful Women in Business for seven consecutive years. She also chaired the Business Advisory Council of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.^[5] In 2010, she was awarded with an honorary PhD in Humane Letters from St. Bonaventure University.[7]

Henretta currently serves on several executive boards, including Staples, Inc., Meritage Home Corp., NiSource, Inc., Corning, Inc., Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, St. Bonaventure University and Xavier University. [12]

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again.

Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.

VisualEditor formatting

To format text in VisualEditor, click the "A" button, highlight your text, and choose the best option.

• The "Bold" item (B) bolds the selected text.
• The "Italic" item (I) italicizes the selected text.
• The "Superscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and to be slightly higher than the surrounding text.
• The "Subscript" item (xI) causes the selected text to appear smaller than surrounding text and slightly lower than the surrounding text.
• The "Strikethrough" item (S) adds a solid bar through the selected text.
• The "Computer code" item (a set of curly brackets: {}) changes the font of the selected text to a monospaced font, which sets it apart from surrounding (proportionally spaced) text.
• The "Underline" item (U) adds a solid line beneath the selected text.
• The "Language" item (Aあ) allows you to label the language (for example, Japanese) and direction (for example, right-to-left) of the selected text.
• The final item, "Clear styling" (  ⃠ ), removes all character formatting from the selected text, including links.

If you have not selected any text, then when you click the "A" to open the menu, and then select an item, that formatting will apply to the text that you start typing, from wherever your cursor is located.

Make your mark!

Once you've made your edit, look for the "Save page" button at the top right in VisualEditor, or the "Save page" button beneath the text area in WikiCode.

For both, you'll want to add what's called an "Edit summary." Describe what you just did, so other editors can make sense of your edits. For example, if you added a citation, you would write "added citation," followed by why. For smaller edits you copyedited or fixed a grammatical mistake, you could write "c/e" for copyedit. There's no real "official shorthand," just make sure you convey the intent of the action you took when you edited the page.

In VisualEditor, you'll be asked for your edit summary after you save your edit. In WikiCode, you'll want to type your edit before you save.

I was born on September 14th in Rochester, New York, the oldest child of Mary Jo (Reilly) and Salvatore Marianetti. I have a brother, John, and a sister, Barbara. I grew up in the suburb of Greece, New York, attended Mother of Sorrows Elementary School, and graduated from Greece Arcadia High School. I briefly attended Genesee Community College in Batavia, New York, and studied Travel and Tourism.

I returned to Rochester and worked full-time as a customer service representative in the custom drapery department at Sibley's downtown store. After two years, I left Sibley's to work for the new cable company, People's Cable TV. I started as the customer service representative for the first 9,000 subscribers who lived in the town of Greece. I earned several job promotions in the business office, starting as an accounting clerk, then as an accounting supervisor, and ultimately a financial analyst for the budget director. Overall, I worked ten years for the cable company as it grew from 11,000 subscribers of People's Cable, to more than 120,000 customers of Time Warner Cable.

I met my ex-husband, Michael O'Connor, while we were both working at People's Cable. Together, we had two children: our son, Sean, and our daughter, Kelly. We raised our family in Greece, where we also volunteered at our church, Hope Lutheran Church. I worked full-time while our kids were growing up, as well as some part-time jobs and a few years of working from my home office. I held a variety of positions, but most of them were clerical or related to finance. Sean graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and moved to Maryland. He is married to Dr. Meghan Pratts O'Connor. Their first child is due in February, 2017. Kelly graduated from Binghamton University and recently moved with her fiance, Stanley Figbar Russell, to Santa Cruz, California.

In April, 2008, I was hired at RIT as a Senior Research Assistant in the Office of Institutional Research and Policy Studies. In September, I enrolled as a part-time student in RIT's Applied Arts and Science AAS degree program, with a concentration in Business Concepts. After receiving my Associate's degree, I took a break from my college studies to pursue other interests. I eventually returned as a part-time student again, working to earn my bachelor's degree with a concentration in Hospitality and an immersion in History. The local newspaper, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, published two of my course assignment articles that I wrote for my history class, "History of a City: Rochester". They were featured in the "Retrofitting Rochester" section and were the historical accounts of notable local property; Nathaniel Rochester's final home, and Jones Square Park.

My interests and hobbies include gardening, sewing, attending live music events and touring historical homes.
