‘One of Logitech’s mottos is that “success is never final”,’ Judith Crosbie-Chen says. ‘I agree with that statement but also tell my team members that “on the Journey, successes need to be recognised and celebrated”!’ Crosbie-Chen has faced a number of changes during her six years at global technology company Logitech. The range and volume of its Asian sales base has expanded dramatically, as have the regulatory demands on the business. ‘The global financial crisis, which occurred shortly after I took on this role, has resulted in a much greater focus upon compliance and risk control work,’ she explains. The key to combatting these challenges, she says, has been empowering her five-strong team to ‘embrace change’, and to develop their skillsets across a full spectrum, be it business, legal or foreign languages, through outside training. Crosbie-Chen has had varied experience within consumer markets throughout her in-house career, having previously served as associate general counsel for Gap in Asia and as chief legal officer for Mcdonald’s China. In the latter role, she worked on the strategy team behind the opening of over 700 restaurants and almost a dozen joint venture across the nation during the 90s. This achievement she says ‘is a memory which always brings a smile to my face’.
