There’s no denying Nashville is a town filled with success stories, and we’re celebrating the business- women who are writing their own. Whether they’re running the numbers, creating and capturing content, or building something from the ground up, here is one of the women that is running this town.
Janelle James
Jack Daniel’s Barrel Program Manager, Jack Daniel’s Super Premium Brands
THE DAILY HUSTLE
I manage the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Personal Collection Program. This is a program where customers can purchase Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel by the Barrel. We have different expressions available depending on each market/territory. A large part of my job is working with our quality control department to ensure there are not any discrepancies. I had always worked in events, fundraising, and marketing and had no experience with QC, so it was one of my initial challenges. I’m very thankful for a manager, Jessica Hartline, in the QC Department at Jack Daniel Distillery, as she took time to work with me so I had a better understanding of exactly what QC is looking for.
THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS
Success to me is doing a job you love every day while also being given the opportunity to work with great customers as well as great coworkers.
WORK PERKS
I love working with customers all over the world. It is great to have the opportunity to speak with customers from different states and countries and do my best to make a difference by creating a positive experience for others.
ADVICE FOR OTHERS
Follow your dreams, always remember that anything is possible, and if you get knocked down then try again. Learn from mistakes as we all make them. Be kind to others. Find a job that you love and that you’re passionate about so that your job never feels like a job.
