| What happens when you stop waiting for permission to lead? Ana Malmqvist learned early on that when you see a gap, fill it- what's the worst thing that can happen? For Melting Pot's Chief Brand Officer, it's not just about stepping up, it's about owning your voice, your value, and your impact. In this episode of Brand Insider: BTS, Ana opens up with MediaPost's Lisa Singer about what it really means to raise your hand, and why leadership is an essential skill, something you shouldn't, especially as a woman, be hesitant about. From her mother's trailblazing journey as a Cuban immigrant and one of the only women in her med school class, to Ana's own rise through corporate leadership, she shares how perseverance, presence, and a deep belief in possibility shaped her path. Ana also talks about owning your seat at the table, the responsibility she feels to carry her mother's legacy forward, and why she's doing what she's doing in the hope the future holds more minority women in leadership, a torch she wants her daughters to carry as well.
