Both these amazing leaders bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to offer attendees of the conference.”
In 2018, Minkoff launched her podcast, Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff, which is consistently in the podcast category’s top 100, and focuses on incredible stories of resilience, failure, and success. In September 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by women who invest in women’s financial power, while enabling and empowering female-owned businesses. The organization has grown to over 9,000 members. Today she continues her success as a global brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry, timepieces, eyewear and fragrance.
Brown revolutionized the beauty industry when she introduced Bobbi Brown Essentials in 1991, which were cosmetics designed to highlight a woman’s natural look. The Estée Lauder Companies acquired Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in 1995, where Brown served as Chief Creative Officer until she departed in 2016.
Twenty years later, Brown reignited her entrepreneurial spirit and launched her new ventures: Jones Road Beauty and Evolution_18. She has authored nine best-selling books, serves as the Beauty & Lifestyle Editor of Elvis Duran and The Morning Show, and hosts the iHeartRadio podcast Beyond the Beauty with Bobbi Brown.
