Building Confidence, Breaking Barriers: Navigating Career Pivots with Purpose

In this episode of Executive Edge, Greg welcomes Camille Batiste, a trailblazing leader in global supply chain and procurement. Camille’s journey began in Jamaica and took her through Stanford, engineering, and two decades at Honeywell before stepping into senior leadership roles at Archer Daniels Midland. Today, as president of the Blackman Grant Group, she invests in leaders and small businesses to shape the next generation of changemakers.

Camille shares candid stories about the early challenges of choosing engineering, navigating career pivots, and building confidence in male-dominated industries. She reflects on her transformative years at Honeywell, where she developed her leadership foundation, and the bold move to ADM, where she built procurement and supply chain functions from the ground up. Now, she discusses her shift into executive coaching and the lessons she’s carrying forward about resilience, vision, and elevating others.
