NOSH Presents: Market Share with Jan Tharp, CEO

 

Welcome to Market Share, a new show from NOSH where we’ll sit down with leading executives and thought leaders to discuss their careers in the industry — including the hurdles they’ve overcome — and to break down food industry trends and news. To begin the bi-weekly series, we’ll spend the first six episodes talking to some of the leading women in the industry, ranging from CEO’s to founders to retailer executives.

In this episode, host Carol Ortenberg, the editor of NOSH, will sit down with Jan Tharp, CEO and president of the Bumble Bee Seafood Company to discuss what it was like to assume the role amidst company crisis and turmoil and how she guided the company through the choppy waters of managing a bankruptcy, rebranding, and bringing more diverse perspectives into the company.

With this series, executives will share key lessons that viewers can apply at their own companies.

In this episode, Jan Tharp covers:

  • How to use problem solving as a means of bringing teams together.
  • How to determine how much risk you can take when rebranding.
  • How to decide when to speak up about a larger, global issue and balance both profit and mission.
  • Why bankruptcy doesn’t signify the end for a business, and how to convey difficult situations to stakeholders and constituents.
