After she joined the Canadian arm in 2020, Huse was given oversight of nearly 2,000 employees in three Ontario locations. Additionally, she oversaw the CPG’s “P&G Good Everyday,” a consumer rewards program that helps “turn everyday actions into acts of good.”

Since joining P&G in 1986, her career has spanned sales, marketing and general management positions, including senior leadership roles in Europe, Asia, IMEA and America. Huse has led P&G Sales in the U.K. and Ireland, followed by a position of senior VP of global sales. She was also previously the CEO and Chairman of the Board for P&G Central Europe.

During her career, Huse has championed equality and inclusion by addressing the gender balance in leadership roles and promoting inclusive leadership at P&G.
