In this extraordinary episode of It’s All About AI, Danilo McGarry sits down with one of the most courageous and unconventional leaders of our time — ANGELA CRETU, former Global CEO of Avon. Her story is not just about leadership; it’s about humanity, grit, and the cost of doing the right thing when the world is falling apart.
Angela reveals what it truly means to lead under pressure — from navigating a global beauty giant through COVID, to rescuing teams from a war zone, to facing cyberattacks and impossible decisions. But this conversation goes deeper than crisis management: it uncovers the woman behind the title.
You’ll hear:
• Her childhood growing up under communism — and how it shaped her courage
• The emotional toll of leading through pandemic chaos and geopolitical conflict
• Her unfiltered views on fake leaders, corporate hypocrisy, and moral responsibility
• Why she’s on a mission to dismantle the “perfect woman” myth
• How AI is reshaping the beauty industry and what it means for women
• Her brutally honest approach to energy, resilience, failure, and authenticity
This episode will shake your assumptions about leadership, challenge your beliefs about success, and leave you reflecting long after it ends. Angela Cretu isn’t just a leader — she’s a force of nature.
