NO. 3 Emma Grede, Good American, Skims (Apparel)
Emma Grede wants you to know that she's a college dropout. “I used to have a real hangup about not having a formal education—especially when you start hiring great people,” Grede says. “But it takes all sorts. I've had a different path—and that's really worked for me.”
It sure has.
Today, Grede, 40, guides two powerhouse fashion brands: She's the co-founder— with Khloé Kardashian—and CEO of bodyinclusive denim company Good American, and she is chief product officer at Skims, the shapewear label her husband, Jens, cofounded with Kim Kardashian. She's also co-founder of plant-powered cleaning brand Safely and a recurring judge the first Black woman investor to appear on the show. Oh, and did we mention she's the mother of four?
