Friends of Andre Sayegh

Farhanna Sayegh is an intuitive and results-oriented executive with 15 years of experience in marketing. Raised in Brooklyn, Farhanna worked in her father's grocery story where she learned the value of hard work and customer service at a young age. This foundation carried her through her BA at Drew University and MBA program at NYU into her professional career where she is continually optimizing the art and science of marketing.

Growing up in a multi-lingual household, attending schools with limited English proficient peers and working with multicultural colleagues, Farhanna is most passionate about uncovering cultural perspectives that influence how people live, work and play. She loves languages, speaks Bahasa Indonesia fluently, and spent 5 months in Belgium learning French and all about the European Union. To recognize and appreciate the values and viewpoints of others ensures people and businesses can ultimately improve communication and understanding.

Farhanna is currently the Multicultural Marketing Director for CQ fluency, a minority and woman-owned business enterprise (MWBE) helping many healthcare clients leverage cultural intelligence in communication. Her work helps them go beyond “checking a box” in accomplishing their translation needs and helps them leverage language to create a differential advantage.

Outside of her “day job,” Farhanna is a parent of three children, a sister to an NYPD sergeant and the First Lady of the City of Paterson for the past three years. As the wife of the Mayor of NJ’s third largest and most diverse city, she is an advocate for women and children at City Hall - currently focused on increasing parental involvement to increase early childhood literacy rates via public-private partnerships and the #PatersonReads grassroots marketing campaign. She enjoys building community among women throughout the City of Paterson - through fitness in her backyard and book reviews in her home or via Zoom. Farhanna has also been the PTO Vice President at Paterson Public Schools, was named “Parent of the Year” in 2019 and has been a proud volunteer for iMentor for over three years to assist a KIPP student graduate high school and kickoff college.

With a majority of CQ fluency's translation clients in the healthcare industry, Farhanna recognizes the importance of the linguists and project managers to break down language barriers that can compromise quality of care and patient safety. As the Multicultural Marketing Director, Farhanna ensures that the organization communicates in culturally relevant ways in the right channels to improve patient engagement, lower health costs and improve health outcomes. She also serves as a marketing committee member for the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association (HBA), where she enjoys the work to help further the advancement and impact of women in the business of healthcare.

Farhanna has also led marketing and sales efforts at well-known brands within large organizations such as L'Oreal, Reckitt and Estee Lauder. At L’Oreal, she spent 7 years driving brand awareness and distribution for the Kiehl’s skincare brand, winning the hearts of not just female consumers, but also leading the growing men’s grooming segment. At Reckitt she helped increase household consumption of French’s Mustard and earn #1 spot in the hot sauce category for the Frank’s RedHot brand in Canada.
