WWD | Drumming Up Inspiration With Ian Ginsberg
For Ian Ginsberg, family is everything — whether both business or pleasure. The third generation owner and president of C.O. Bigelow Apothecary, whose son Alec is the company’s chief operating officer, Ginsberg also inherited a passion for music that he has passed on.
“I come from a musical family,” said Ginsberg, himself an avid drummer who also dabbles in guitar and vocals. “My mom was a concert pianist, my father was a bandleader. So, I was always in a musical household.” The father of three has passed along his love. Alec Ginsberg plays guitar and sings in the family’s band, while his daughter, Wendy, plays guitar and ukelele and his other son, Reed, is a drummer.
