Empathy First: Jo Lambert of Yahoo

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

This podcast is sponsored by Yahoo. Whether you’re a lover of the latest fashions or the best deals, stories of ceiling breakers and fortune makers, a lover of fantasy sports or financial smarts, a lover of trusted news to keep you in the know, or organized email to keep you in flow, Yahoo connects you to the things you love.

Sometimes it takes a good dose of fearlessness to leave behind a comfortable job, situation or relationship, and jump feet first into a new opportunity. Jo Lambert did just that, leaving her job in Australia and making the transition from finance to media, landing at Yahoo in the U.S. in 2018. Utilizing her strong work ethic, passion, and unerring focus on the mission at hand, Jo is committed to driving Yahoo’s core mission of connecting people to their passions and leading the media industry through the creation of trusted and diverse content, product and next generation experiences.

By cultivating a network of supporters in every strata of the company, crowdsourcing ideas for creative problem solving, and emphasizing the need for mentorship, Jo takes on a leadership style like no other. With a clear focus on the importance of empathy and mental health awareness in the workplace and woven into Yahoo’s consumer offerings, Jo takes work seriously, but also understands the importance of a much-needed beach vacation!
