Listen "Beauty, individualization, and a titan of industry"
Episode Synopsis
Suzi Weiss-Fischmann's parents were Holocaust survivors and her country of birth was overrun by the oppressive communist party of the 1960s. There was nothing easy about her origin story. Suzi fled Hungary as a child and capitalized on the American Dream to become co-founder of one of the largest beauty corporations in the world, OPI. Having built a billion dollar company, Suzi reflects on a lifetime at the top of the beauty industry and its complex relationship to the unattainable beauty standards of American society. She shares her journey of moving from immigrant to CEO, the lessons she's learned about female leadership, and how she's trying to pay it forward.Breaking Glass is a production of Evoke Media, a nonprofit organization that exists in order to elevate the people and stories working to make the world a more unified and equitable place.
