Lynn Power: Superstar Ad Exec Quits, Starts Inspired Hair Care Company

In her 50s, Lynn Power pivoted from CEO of a large ad agency to
entrepreneur, starting her Japanese-formulated natural hair care
company MASAMI.  With humor and grace, she tells David about
the ageism she experienced when looking for investors, the
importance of diversity in any company, and the secret to making
hair care products that are hydrating yet light.


“This investor, who is probably about 65 by the way...interrupted
Bill and said, ‘How old is she?’ And Bill said…’She’s 51’ and he
literally said, ‘Nope. It will never work. She’s too old.’ ”
