10 questions with a2 Milk's Jayne Hrdlicka
Jul 11, 2019 — 2.00pm
Jayne Hrdlicka has just marked 12 months as CEO of The a2 Milk Company, which has enjoyed stellar growth thanks to demand for its infant formula in China.
Here she answers our questions.
How would you describe your leadership style?
I am a values-based leader who passionately believes in the power of teams; teams of talented, ambitious, diverse (in every way) people who like challenging convention and working together creatively to deliver on outcomes. I believe my job is to bring energy and clarity about where we are headed, ensure that we think big and that we have the right combination of people, working together in imaginative ways to design and deliver.
What would you tell your younger self?
The world is a colourful place and will challenge you in ways you cannot imagine. Always stay true to yourself, your values and what you know to be right. Don’t let other people take the wind out of your sails. Find your voice, earn the right to it and use it.
Most important question when hiring?
Who are you and what makes you tick as a person?
What excites you right now?
My boys are old enough that I am getting excited about all the adventures they have ahead of them, learning about who they really are and what mark they might want to leave on the world. The second thing is the world of possibilities ahead of us at The a2 Milk Company. We have a special product, a unique brand and a burning desire to continue re-imagining what great looks like as we go. You can feel a unique energy in every one of our people.
What office habits annoy you?
I really don’t like politics, games, hierarchy and disingenuous behaviour. It gets in the way of good, fast decisions and dynamic learning.
What is your morning ritual/exercise regime?
Fitness and movement generally is important to my balance as a person. I try to manage my schedule so that I can have an hour to push myself physically before a big day. I don’t miss a day when travelling.
Favourite holiday spot?
I have lots of places that I love, but Telluride, Colorado, would be my all-time favourite. The mountains have always held a special place for me.
Last good book, podcast or film?
Avengers: Endgame. You could not have told me I would be a Marvel fan 15 years ago.
How do you unwind?Any sort of exercise is the most effective way for me to unwind. At the end of a long day, though, a great glass of pinot and family is my favourite time.
When do your best ideas come?
From all manner of random places – best ever is the top of a mountain, on a chair lift or on a great hike.
