UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 9, 2025 / Marquis Who's Who honors Josianne Legare, MBA, for her expertise in sales leadership. Ms. Legare has been chosen for inclusion in the Marquis Who's Who of Professional Women feature.
About Ms. Legare
Ms. Legare was raised by parents who believed in her ambitions, encouraged her to set high goals and pushed her to succeed. Their support, coupled with her competitive nature, has spurred on her success. Throughout her life, she has been dedicated to learning new things and achieving greater levels of success. She attributes her desire for victory and need to prove herself as the main drivers of her push for excellence.
Ms. Legare has led high-performing teams throughout her career. One notable accomplishment in her career was her tenure as senior vice president of sales for Lassonde's Canadian sales team. By adopting a customer-centric approach, the team moved from last to first place in customer ranking within two years under her leadership.
"What made me a leader is how I relate to people. I take the time to understand their strengths. I really focus on that. I have an eye for skills, and I put people in the right place to succeed. I work with them and coach them to lead them to succeed. People like to follow me because they understand where we're going. They buy into the vision and the goals. They follow me to achieve it," Ms. Legare explains.
For 24 years, Ms. Legare has been successful in her chosen industry. Her most recent position was chief commercial officer at Baxters North America and she currently serves as a brand consultant. At Baxters, she oversaw all aspects of product development, from conceptualization and development through testing and refinement, to preparing the products for market release. She was also involved in coordinating the product launches and creating marketing strategies and campaigns. Additionally, she made certain that the products met revenue targets.
Understanding Industry Demands
As a part of her work, Ms. Legare is keenly aware of industry trends. One significant trend, according to her, is the rise in the popularity of premium foods that "prioritize health benefits." She points out that consumers are looking for products that contribute to their overall well-being beyond satisfying hunger.
"This shift in demand presents an opportunity to focus on offering differentiated products that deliver enhanced value to consumers. One noteworthy development in this landscape is the rise of authentic GLP-1 medications that have recently entered the market," Ms. Legare says. "These drugs are gaining popularity as they promote weight management and support metabolic health. However, consumers' needs extend beyond just medication; they require nutritional options that complement these therapeutics."
As people continue to change the way they eat, altering their diets to include more protein, major food brands are adapting to align with the trend to cater to health-conscious consumers.
"By focusing on premium ingredients and innovative formulations, brands can meet the growing demand for products that truly enhance consumers' health and lifestyle," Ms. Legare says.
A Commitment to Success
Ms. Legare has achieved significant success throughout her career and continues to pursue excellence in her future endeavors. She also plans to mentor young women to assist in "creating a path for them." She "aims to inspire the next generation" while also creating a rewarding and motivating work environment that enables them to thrive. In alignment with this mission, Ms. Legare recently joined the advisory board for the Women in Leadership Program at Ashland University. In this role, which she will hold through April 2026, she will play a pivotal part in fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment that encourages both the personal and professional growth of students.
