Joy Doyin Ogunneye is one of the happiest people you’d ever meet. She’s a passionate, global marketer with expertise building brands and driving growth within Fortune 500 Consumer Products companies.

As the current Global Brand Equity & Innovation Lead for the DermoCosmetics division at Kenvue – the world’s largest consumer healthcare company, she leads global brand stewardship and product development for premium, dermatologist skincare brands including NEOSTRATA® and EXUVIANCE®. Joy helps consumers in 85+ countries feel confident in their own skin through the products and experiences she creates. She delivers broader organizational impact through her thought leadership and speaking engagements which include hosting Global Townhalls with 22,000 employees and the Kenvue’s NYSE Listing Day.

Joy’s entire career has been driven by her passion to make a difference and transform lives. She has spent 13+ years of her career at Kenvue and other iconic companies including Johnson & Johnson, L’Oréal, Revlon, Coty, and Avon, leading global strategy, innovation, communication and digital marketing across numerous categories and business models.

She’s motivated by being the best person she can be, making an impact and touching lives. Thus, in her spare time, she created ‘The Happy Go Joy Show’ podcast, to inspire people to live joyfully no matter what. Known for her infectious energy and ability to find the light in every situation, she created the podcast to share practical advice on happiness, purpose and so much more. Her life’s work is to bring joy into people’s lives, so she also created ‘Sleep Like A Bébé’ consultancy to help exhausted working parents sleep again.

She has an MBA in Marketing from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Psychology and International Affairs from UMBC.

Above all, her happy place is spending time with her husband and two kids.
