Focus on purpose, people, and the clear next step with Jennifer Faust, founder of Faust Global Partners

I met this week's podcast guest, Jennifer Faust, during our interview process for her to join the Aruna Board of Directors.

Aruna is a non-profit I have had the privilege to serve on the Board of Directors for the last few years. Aruna provides sustainable employment to women freed from sex trafficking in India. These freed women make incredible bags, purses and headbands that sell very well in the US. Go check them out here :)​

Well, when we had the chance to interview Jennifer, it was a slam dunk that she should join the board. Jennifer has spent her career in international work, raising capital, as well as the fashion industry - so a perfect combination.

Jennifer has been a liaison for the US Government and the United Nations throughout her career. Currently, she acts as an International Advisor to the United Nations and World Trade Organization’s joint agency – the International Trade Centre.

Even though she has a demanding job as CEO of Faust Global Partners, she is an active mom of 3 kids, plus a spouse to a successful husband who also has a demanding job.

This podcast episode is great as we go 'behind the scenes' on how she manages all the pieces.
