...to put yourself in front of the brand

As the CEO of an organization, you’ve got to be willing to put yourself in front of the brand.
Что имеется в виду?

Наверное что-то вроде: "он должен быть готов броситься на амбразуру (в огонь)". В смысле готовности принять на себя всю ответственность.

Not exactly. See this post: http://www.qonverge.com/blog/?author=4

It's basically saying that you need to be the "public face" of your company in order to promote it and further its interests. Not the best phrasing by a CEO IMHO -- instead of expressing himself clearly and representing his company well, he sounds like he's getting run over by a bus or something...:lol:

If you were trying to say what Guin is referring to, you'd actually rephrase the sentence a bit: you'd need to say "put the brand(I think "company" actually works better, but whatever) before yourself," meaning that what is best for the company comes before what is best for yourself.
