Summary

On this episode of Next Question with Katie Couric, produced in partnership with The Wonderful Company and Katie Couric Media, Katie sits down with marketing guru, philanthropist, and Vice Chairman and co-owner of The Wonderful Company, Lynda Resnick. With decades of experience developing successful marketing campaigns for major brands, Lynda has long been a leader in her field. Together with her husband, Stewart, they have created some of the most recognized better-for-you brands on grocery store shelves, including POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice, Wonderful Pistachios, Wonderful Seedless Lemons, Wonderful Halos, FIJI Water, and JUSTIN Wines. But 11 years ago, Lynda had an epiphany: it was time for her to give back. As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we’re shining a light on what could be Lynda Resnick’s most important contribution: her philanthropy. She has made a major impact on communities in California’s Central Valley, and on the reach and depth of climate change research around the world.
