Ana Malmqvist, is the CMO of Front Burner Brands, which owns Melting Pot, the world\u2019s premier fondue restaurant. Ana\u2019s love for beauty products took her to L\u2019oreal right out of business school where she advanced throughout various roles before an inflection point and deciding to move to P&G Beauty as an experienced hire. At P&G Ana worked in Brand Management on Max Factor Cosmetics across North America and Western Europe, as well as on the Prestige Fine Fragrances business on brands like Hugo Boss, Giorgio Beverly Hills, Helmut Lang, and Herv\xe9 Leger Parfum. When she left P&G to be closer to family, she entered the hospitality industry - delivering unforgettable experiences via marketing as the VP of Product Marketing at Bloomin\u2019 Brands. Ana has a love for translating marketing to the consumer, in large part due to her language skills developed as a child and learning the art of speaking others\u2019 languages. Ana continues to use her language skills to bring together multi-functional groups she works with and in her mentoring of others. You\u2019ll enjoy this candid conversation about the inflection points that change life\u2019s path, and how to find balance and maintain curiosity along the way.
