“We are honored to once again be recognized by Working Mother Media for our advancement and development programs for women,” Roxanne Lagano, Zoetis’ executive vice president and chief human resources officer, said in a prepared statement. “Our commitment to women’s advancement starts at the top. In addition to our CEO, Kristin Peck, 50% of the company’s executive team are women.”
