Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

My guest for this episode is Jenna Littler, former Senior Vice President at Burberry and now an independent consultant and advisor to the fashion, beauty and luxury goods industries.
Jenna has had already had an amazingly diverse and highly successful career and, by the time she left Burberry, she was one of the most senior women in the business.
She spoke to me at length about the opportunities and challenges she has faced and this was a fascinating and really enjoyable interview that I think you will find equally interesting and valuable.
