Emily Hikade is the founder and CEO of Petite Plume Luxury Sleepwear. Made with chemical-free cotton and impeccable attention to detail and comfort, the European-inspired pajamas are carried in over 500 boutiques as well as major retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and J.Crew. Prior to launching a luxury pajama brand in 2015, though, Hikade’s life looked majorly different. For almost 15 years, she lived and worked in countries such as Iraq, Tunisia, Haiti, Egypt, Burma, Tanzania, and Uganda focused on counterterrorism as a member of the CIA. Tune in to hear how a near-death experience changed the entire course of her career journey and about the surprising skills that carried over.
