Jessica Padula (Nespresso USA) | Brewing Growth & Sustainability

This week, The CMO Podcast is serving up a rich and flavorful conversation as Jim sits down with Jessica Padula, Vice President of Marketing and Sustainability for Nespresso USA. Nespresso, part of Swiss-based Nestlé, started in the 1980s with one bold idea: that anyone should be able to brew a café-quality coffee at home. Fast forward to today, and that idea has become an $8 billion global brand, with more than 13,000 employees across 81 countries, over 800 boutiques in 500+ cities, and a booming direct-to-consumer business.

Jessica has been brewing her own journey at Nespresso for nearly a decade. For the past two and a half years, she’s been leading both marketing and sustainability—two roles that blend perfectly like coffee and crema. A Boston University grad, Jessica first cut her teeth on the agency side, working with powerhouse Procter & Gamble brands, before bringing her passion for brand building and purpose to Nespresso.

In this lively conversation, Jim and Jessica dive into her career journey, the art of balancing growth with sustainability, and how Nespresso continues to innovate without losing sight of its values. Grab your favorite cup and tune in—it’s a coffee talk you won’t want to miss.
