At Coca-Cola, Josie was able to grow her financial, operational, and overall leadership skills, having served in a number of different roles across the organization. Prior to her time in the beauty industry, Josie spent almost 13 years with Coca-Cola, including serving as the Chief Financial Officer of ZICO Beverages, a coconut water brand. Prior to joining GTLF, Josie was the Chief Operating Officer of KORA Organics, a leading certified organic skincare company founded by Miranda Kerr in 2009, and prior to that, she was the CFO/COO of Kate Somerville Skincare, a prestige skincare company owned by Unilever. As SVP, Finance & Accounting, Josie oversees the Finance, Accounting, HR, and IT operations of the Company and is responsible for ensuring these functions support the continued leadership and growth of GTLF in the Kombucha and Functional Beverage market categories. Josie is Senior Vice President of Finance & Accounting at GT's Living Foods, innovators of Synergy Kombucha and of the kombucha commercial market itself. Happy National Women's Day to all the incredible women! We’d like to give a special shoutout to one of our own, Josie Padilla, for being an outstanding example of what it means to be a successful and empowered woman in the workplace.
