Talk:Julie Sweet

Proposing article updates
Hi there, I'm here to make suggestions to improve this article, which has been edited a handful of times since it was created in July. As disclosure, I do have a financial conflict of interest, as I am here on behalf of Julie Sweet's employer, Accenture, through my work at Beutler Ink.

I've put the updates into my userspace here: User:16912_Rhiannon/Julie_Sweet. You can also see the changes compared with the current article, in . Since there are a few different changes, I'm happy to work through this piece-by-piece. However, since the live article is rather short and serves as the foundation for my proposed draft, I'm happy to work should editors want to review it in its entirety. Should editors prefer to go piece-by-piece, I recommend we start with the infobox.

Edit request: Infobox
For the infobox, I'm asking for a few small updates:
 * Birth date: Update to make it a bit more specific; she was born in 1967, not 1968, so the live infobox is incorrect. Since no sources state her date of birth, I've used Template:Birth based on age as of date.
 * Nationality: Add American
 * Alma mater: Update to include Columbia Law School in addition to Claremont McKenna College

Due to my COI, I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok. Dormskirk, perhaps you can look at this? You have reviewed requests for Accenture, so I wonder if this might be an area of interest for you as well? Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 02:32, 9 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 08:05, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for this! If you'd be interested to help with other updates for this article, I've posted my draft for a Career section below. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 21:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit request: Career
I'm asking editors to consider adding a Career section to this article to highlight the important aspects of Mrs. Sweet's career that have been the topic of coverage in independent sources. I've put the updates into my user space here, but I will also include on this discussion page alongside the markup.

My draft includes the following:
 * Additional detail on Mrs. Sweet's time at Cravath, Swaine & Moore
 * Her work and initiatives at Accenture
 * Other board service
 * Brief mention of high-profile recognition

Again, due to my COI, I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:51, 10 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 22:54, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much again! I've posted a draft of a short Personal life section below if you're interested in reviewing. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 02:49, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit request: Personal life
I'm asking editors to consider adding a Personal life section to this article. While short, I believe it falls in line with other Personal life sections at similar articles. Again, the updates are in my user space here, and I've included the proposed wording below alongside the markup.

Again, due to my COI (as I am here on behalf of Accenture, as part of my work at Beutler Ink), I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok. After this request, there's just one more tweak I'd like to suggest—for the article's introduction—and I can come back to post a final request for that. Thanks! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 02:49, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Done. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 08:41, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much yet again! I've posted a final request below, this time to tweak the article's introduction. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 18:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Edit request: Introduction
As a final update for now, I'm asking if editors would consider adjusting the introduction. The updates are in my user space here, and I've included the proposed wording below alongside the markup. In my draft, I've changed the wording to make the introduction more active, removed Mrs. Sweet's previous role as CEO of Accenture North America (since this is now explained in Career), italicized Fortune, and updated to show that Mrs. Sweet was included on the "Most Powerful Women" list from 2016 through 2019.

Again, due to my COI (as I am here on behalf of Accenture, as part of my work at Beutler Ink), I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok. Thanks so much for all the help thus far! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 18:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Done. Best wishes, Dormskirk (talk) 18:48, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in my reply here. Thanks so much for this edit, as well as your work reviewing my requests above! Much appreciated. 16912 Rhiannon (Talk &middot; COI) 17:12, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Is there a reason why the husband isn't named? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.224.214 (talk) 02:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Spring 2022 updates
Hi, I'm here to propose updates to this article in addition to requested edits I've made to the Accenture article. I am here on behalf of Accenture as part of my work at Beutler Ink. Specifically, I propose these content changes (updates and new material in green; new citations where needed):


 * 1) Updating the infobox and introduction to include that Julie Sweet is now chair and chief executive officer
 * 2) Updating the introduction to read: "She was named to Fortune's "Most Powerful Women" list from 2016 through 2021"
 * 3) Updating Career to include Sweet's position as chair: "In September 2021, Sweet became chair of Accenture. "
 * 4) Updating the sentence about Sweet's other work in Career to read: "In addition to her work at Accenture, Sweet served on the boards for Catalyst, World Economic Forum,, Business Roundtable Technology Committee, Center for Strategic & International Studies, and the Marriott Foundation for People with Disabilities – Bridges from School to Work, as of 2022."
 * 5) Updating the last paragraph of Career: "The New York Times called Sweet "one of the most powerful women in corporate America" in 2019. Fortune listed her as one of the "Most Powerful Women" from 2016 to 2021; in 2020, she ranked number 1 on the list. "
