Boyden today released a new issue of its Boyden Leadership Series featuring an interview with James E. Lillie, President & Chief Operating Officer of Jarden Corporation (NYSE: JAH). The interview features an in-depth idea exchange on the opportunities and challenges of brand management, global growth and talent acquisition for Jarden, a leading provider of niche consumer products.

“We’re delighted to feature Jim and highlight Jarden’s expertise as a global market leader,” said Trina Gordon, Chairman of Boyden World Corporation and Managing Director, Boyden Chicago. “Jarden’s success stewarding 100 brands in over 100 countries and a workforce of 20,000 people worldwide has been a phenomenal achievement. Jim’s interview provides valuable insight into managing marquee products and services across the Americas, Europe and

Asia.”


Mr. Lillie discusses Jarden’s leadership strategy and calls particular attention to the contributions of Jarden’s employees in the interview.

“We believe our employees are our best assets. By giving them multiple hats to wear, we best position them to be engaged in the business,” said Mr. Lillie. “By keeping their jobs diversified, we keep people very interested in not only how we compensate them but intellectually how they go about their life within Jarden. This gives people tremendous opportunities to excel and be creative.”
