How This Kenvue Exec Is Shining A Light On The Beauty Industry

Kenvue's Joy Ogunneye on finding light in the darkness, breaking barriers, and the lightbulb moment that sparked it all.

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. 

Have you ever felt overlooked or unseen? Kenvue's Joy Ogunneye knows that feeling all too well. Back in college, while working at a beauty counter, she realized the products she was tasked with selling didn't cater to people of color. Instead of staying frustrated, Joy had a life-changing realization: if the system wasn't built for her, she'd work to change it herself. And that's exactly what she did! In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Joy takes us through her inspiring journey-- from a successful career in banking to pursuing her passion for inclusivity in the beauty industry. The global innovation & brand comms lead for Aveeno Body, also opens up about embracing progress over perfection, balancing her cultural roots with her ambition, and the power of kindness-not just for others, but for herself. Watch the full conversation in the video above!
