Why Skills-First Leadership Is Replacing the Ivy League Playbook in the C-Suite
The old prestige pyramid—where Ivy League degrees and blue-chip consulting backgrounds paved the way to the CEO seat—is cracking.
April 24, 2023: According to The Wall Street Journal, Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health business is worth $40 billion ahead of its starting public offering.
The very soon spinoff Kenvue is aiming to increase $3.5 billion or more in the offering, people known with the matter told the Journal.
The newspaper stated that “the share sale would be the biggest of a quiet year for IPOs.”
Kenvue is looking to meet with future investors as early as Monday, the reports told the Journal.
When questioned about the Journal’s document, J&J spokesperson Tesia Williams stated, “Unfortunately, I do not have any information to provide” further stated.
J&J previously said it anticipates finishing the separation from Kenvue by mid-to-late 2023.
The huge consumer staples have also said it will retain majority ownership of Kenvue, with ideas to trim the rest of its stake in the year.

J&J is revealing its plan to spin off its consumer health business in 2021. That division has created Band-Aid bandages, skin care outcomes under Neutrogena and Aveeno brands, pain relief drug Tylenol and J&J’s baby powder.
J&J still faces allegations that its talc baby powder and different talc products caused cancer.
The federal bankruptcy judge halted nearly 40,000 talc lawsuits through mid-June the previous year. That decision was part of J&J’s next attempt to settle talc shows in bankruptcy proceedings.
The temporary hold will give J&J time to win court acceptance of its $8.9 billion proposed compromise with plaintiffs in the talc cases.
Kenvue will assume talc-related liabilities that increase outside the U.S. and Canada, its IPO filing showed.
