BTS REWIND: How This Foundation Consumer Healthcare VP Is Making A Difference

Foundation Consumer Healthcare Jordana Barish talks the essentials of a good leader, what flusters her, and her "dorky" pastime.

I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women -- not only for the work they do, but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way. 

“Get curious and really put yourself out there to look into different things.” Jordana Barish didn’t just say this- she took her own advice! Earlier this year the former VP of Allegra, NA, at Sanofi began her new position as VP of OTC Brands at Foundation Consumer Healthcare— living proof that being open to change can pay off. Lisa Singer had the pleasure of speaking with Jordana last summer for Brand Insider: BTS, where she opened up about her non-linear career path, the power of turning setbacks into solutions, and why she sets goals (not resolutions). Jordana also shared how striving for harmony—and a few happy accidents—shaped her journey from “wallflower” to leader. Catch the full conversation above.
