What Makes You “Cool” Can Alienate Your Customers | Anouck Gotlib | Belgian Boys


Listen Later

Anouck Gotlib was born in Antwerp, Belgium, and studied Fashion Design at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in Israel. 

She moved to New York to pursue a career in fashion—first at Zac Posen and later at Donna Morgan. 

Anouck would return from long days on Fashion Ave to spend nights and evenings working on Belgian Boys' graphics, branding, packaging, and marketing, and she ultimately decided to step away from the fashion world and into entrepreneurship with her husband Greg. 

Today, Anouck is the CEO at Belgian Boys and serves on the advisory council of the Belgium Chambres of Commerce. 

Recently, Anouck was named to the EY Entrepreneurial Winning Women Class of 2021. 

She lives in Brooklyn with her husband Greg and two sons.
