With an inherent talent—and love—for all things business, Julia Hunter's tenure as the CEO of Jenni Kayne has poised the brand to become a leading fashion-lifestyle destination.
In this role, Julia has been able to channel her past experiences at other global companies to guide Jenni Kayne on its journey. And while the industry itself is on the precipice of (necessary change), Jenni Kayne continues to champion its quality over quantity mentality under Julia's leadership.
Storytelling has also endured as a critical vehicle for inspiring connections around these topics. In fact, some of these stories have even inspired Julia to rethink her perspective when it comes to approaching both business and life.
Like many other leaders, Julia was forced to fully lean into Jenni Kayne's penchant for conscious living as the world came to a standstill due to COVID-19. In this interview, she shared more about the important role slow content has played in facilitating mindful conversations and why valuing kindness above performance has been one of her most transformative career takeaways. This episode also opens with a story contributed by Eleanor Turner.
