Listen "Andrea Jung: Breaking Glass Ceilings and Facing Tough Challenges"
Episode Synopsis
This is our inaugural episode, and appropriately, we're kicking it off with someone who's practically seen it all. Andrea Jung is the CEO of Grameen America, a non-profit microfinance organization.
Before that she was the CEO of Avon, one of the first woman CEOs of a major Fortune 500 company. She graced magazine covers and power lists over and over again. But then, it all came to a grinding halt. Sales begin to slow, the stock price fell and before long she left to start over.
In this conversation Andrea talks about her upbringing, what she had to do to overcome as a woman in the corporate world, and the skills that helped her along the way.
