About this episode

Jenna Habayeb is Chief Brand Officer at IPSY/Beauty For All (BFA) Industries, a digitally native beauty tech company with a community of 20 million and growing. BFA is the parent company of the largest beauty subscription brands in the world, including IPSY, BoxyCharm, and Refreshments, as well as the brand incubator Madeby Collective. Jenna has been Chief Brand Officer for over three years, following a CMO stint at a cannabis company and 11 years at agencies. Jenna was recently featured in The Forbes Entrepreneurial CMO List of 2022.

In this episode, Jenna discusses her motivation to make sacrifices to ensure she's always finding the work she loves. She also touches on how she motivates her team to achieve great things by showing them the possibilities outside of their own comfort zones. Plus, she talks about stepping away from the tendency to prove yourself—and instead, motivate and inspire others within your organization.
