After feeling like her growth had been stunted at her day job, Naylor left Target to run her blog full-time. Her continued authenticity and dedication to her platform have made her a fashion authority and a dream partner for brands.

In 2013, Gregg Renfrew founded Beautycounter—the beauty brand that pioneered what we know today as the clean beauty movement. The brand gained a well-respected reputation for its commitment to using safe ingredients in its products and for refusing to include any formulas that contained questionable or harmful chemicals. Renfrew’s commitment to customer health and her advocacy for cosmetic regulation set her apart from her competitors at a time when clean beauty was just an idea, not an entire industry. She last joined us in 2019, before the company's sale to a private equity firm in a deal that valued the brand at $1 billion. Since then, she’s had to make several pivots—from being asked to step down as CEO to leaving her own company to watching it go into foreclosure. Her latest pivot has involved starting a new company with the same commitment to clean beauty called Counter, and she’s back to tell us all about the new venture.

Diarrha N'Diaye is the founder and CEO of Ami Colé—the beloved beauty brand known for its dedication to celebrating melanin-rich skin. N'Diaye first stepped into the beauty industry by working in social media marketing. She became a go-to expert in digital content management, lending her expertise to brands across fashion, beauty, and editorial sectors. She then transitioned into product development when she was recruited to work at Glossier during its heyday. By the time N'Diaye conceived the idea for her own brand, which would focus on darker skin, she knew exactly what it took to create a product and market it effectively. Her years of experience in every step of that process prepared her to launch Ami Colé in 2019. After growing a loyal community and winning over 80 awards for her products, she made the difficult decision to shut down her brand earlier this year. Her announcement prompted an outpouring of grief from the people who saw themselves in Ami Colé. But now, N'Diaye’s more than ready for whatever her new chapter holds after building a hugely successful company from scratch.

Jennifer Anderson is the founder of Kids Eat in Color, a platform dedicated to providing families with the resources they need to feed their children nutritious foods and build healthy eating habits. Anderson’s passion for nutrition started during her time working in the nonprofit space, leading after-school snack programs. Her experience inspired her to go back to school and study the science of nutrition. After earning her master’s degree in public health and becoming a registered dietician, she went on to lend her expertise to various nutritional education programs, including the USDA’s SNAP-Ed program, an initiative aimed at providing nutritional resources to low-income families nationwide. But even with all of her experience working as an expert in the field, Anderson struggled to feed her children. She started documenting the meals she’d make for her kids on Instagram, sharing her strategies for how to get them to eat different food groups with other parents who might be struggling to feed their picky eaters. Today, Kids Eat in Color has grown from a small Instagram page to a platform with 2 million followers, has expanded offerings to include recipes, educational courses for parents, and meal plans, and works to support food justice initiatives offline.

Sarah O’Leary is the CEO of Willow Innovations, the inventors of the first wearable breast pump. She began her career as a consultant for private equity clients, learning firsthand how businesses make big decisions and developing her problem-solving skills.
