Jackson Jeyanayagam: VP & GM of DTC at the Clorox Company

Jackson Jeyanayagam: Vice President & General Manager of DTC at the Clorox Company

In this episode, Jackson discusses the importance of people-first in business. Jackson has had some terrific experiences-- whether it be joining Chipotle as Head of Digital via cold outreach, getting involved at Boxed during its early years, or joining a legacy brand like Clorox Company. Like most top performers, Jackson has been able to hone his ability to listen to his gut when his next step is unclear, and it’s led him on an illustrious career path.

Jackson sits down and really fills in the blanks between each point on his resume, and explains his thought process in moving from company to company. For those thinking about making a transition or just planning out their career trajectory, Jackson takes a refreshingly thorough look at why he has made the moves that he has.

He and I break down company culture, and how to confidently negotiate the terms of your own hire. We also dive into strategies for building strong teams and how to handle crises like COVID-19 when you may need to pivot quickly in a way you hadn’t expected.

Jackson is a very real guy and you can feel his passion for working with great people within his company and flinging himself into new challenges. He also has a knack for being blunt, although empathetic, when things need to be resolved quickly.
