Beauty Queen: Inside the Reign of Avon’s Andrea Jung

Beauty Queen: Inside the Reign of Avon’s Andrea Jung pinpoints the leadership and business lessons of Jung, who assumed the CEO role at a critical juncture in the global company’s history.

Through interviews with other CEO’s, Avon executives past and present, and leadership experts, Himsel explores the unique challenges Jung faced as a female Fortune 500 leader of a company with business in over 110 countries.
