Rod Little, president and CEO of Edgewell Personal Care, has discussed the company's performance and consumer trends in several media appearances. In November 2024, he stated that tariffs were not helpful to his business, noting that roughly 5% of the company's cost of goods would be subject to tariffs, and described the consumer as "very challenged" while noting categories were still growing. In earlier appearances, he described the consumer as "resilient" and reported broad-based growth across categories and geographies, including the company's best fiscal year since going public in 2021. He has also commented on inflation, saying in 2021 that he had "never seen inflation like we're seeing right now" and that the company was offsetting it with pricing and cost-saving measures. Little has also spoken about his background as a U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and how his military experience has shaped his leadership approach. In a 2022 company video, he discussed the value of discipline, teamwork, and flexibility learned in the Air Force, and noted that Edgewell had made Veterans Day an official company holiday and was establishing a veteran resource group. In a 2025 podcast, he credited the Academy for much of what he has professionally and said he uses the word "teammates" at Edgewell, language he noted was also used at the Academy.
