"If you're not taking risks in your career," says Valerie Oswalt, vice president of sales, west area for Mondelēz International, "you might actually be creating more risk for yourself."
For Oswalt, the chance to make a risky career move arrived when she accepted a role working on a project in an undefined, new area. There was a lot of risk, as the project would make her success -– or failure -– highly visible.
