This year’s speakers will take the stage to talk about finding and becoming a great mentor, valuable leadership lessons and the road ahead for women in leadership. (More speakers will be announced in the coming weeks.)
Our influential lineup includes: Marcia Kilgore, founder of FitFlop; Marina Larroudé, co-founder and chief creative officer of Larroudé; Tamara Mellon, founder of her namesake brand and co-founder of Jimmy Choo; and Sharifa Murdock, chief impact officer at Kith.
Kilgore has founded a number of game-changing global companies in the worlds of beauty and wellness, including FitFlop, Bliss, Soap & Glory and Soaper Duper. In 2016, she launched Beauty Pie, a concept aimed at democratizing the beauty industry and disrupting its outdated business model.
Larroudé is the force behind one of the footwear industry’s fastest-growing emerging brands, which she started with her husband Ricardo Larroudé during the pandemic. During a difficult climate for new labels, the former Barneys fashion director has defied the odds with her mix of trend-right product at accessible prices, attention-grabbing collaborations and social media prowess.
Mellon’s shoe story began when she co-founded Jimmy Choo at the age of 27 and helped turn the brand into a household name. In 2013, two years after exiting the British label, the designer went out on her own, founding her eponymous label with a unique vision. Now Mellon’s growing the business and expanding into wholesale via a partnership with Titan Industries. Last week, she opened a pop-up in Beverly Hills, Calif.
At Kith, Murdock spearheads the brand’s diversity and social impact initiatives and oversees The Kinnect Foundation, the company’s in-house non-profit. Prior to her role at the influential retailer, Murdock worked her way through the trade show circuit, co-founding Liberty and Project alongside her mentor Sam Ben-Avraham.
