Bobbi Brown, after being fired from Estee Lauder, reflected on her career transition. She founded Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1991 and sold it to Estee Lauder in 1995, agreeing to a 25-year noncompete. Brown experienced difficulties in her last years at the company, feeling disconnected from its corporate direction. She acknowledged that her firing was ultimately beneficial, allowing her to escape a miserable situation and pursue new opportunities in her career.
"I got fired, which is a good thing. And I didn't know what I was going to do. It was the first time in so many years."
"For the majority of the time I was in charge, you know, until it became definitely more corporate, and there was a new leader, and things just were not about supporting individual brands and founders."
"First of all, if I didn't get fired, I'd still be there, miserable. So, it's really good that it happened."
