Emma Grede ne ek baat bilkul clear kar di hai — woh “celebrity CEO” nahi hai. Grede, jo Kim Kardashian ke $5 billion ke Skims empire ki founding partner hain, ne yeh baat Adweek ke Social Media Week event mein kahi.
Fortune ke mutabiq, Grede ne April 15 ko New York City mein kaha, “Don’t call me a celebrity CEO. I’m not a celebrity CEO. I’m a CEO that’s done so well that you know my name.”
Kaun hain Emma Grede? Skims aur Good American ki founding partner
Emma Grede sirf Skims ki founding partner nahi hain. Woh Good American ki bhi co-founder hain. Forbes ke mutabiq, unki net worth $405 million hai. Lekin yeh success raat mein nahi aayi. Grede ne apna pehla job 12 saal ki umar mein start kiya tha.
Fortune ke mutabiq, Grede ne “har ek job kiya hai upar tak.” Woh Fendi bags bechti thi jo “truck se gir gaye the,” phir intern ke tor par boxes pack karti thi, aur akhir mein senior executive ban gayi.
‘Celebrity CEO’ label kyun reject kiya?
Grede ka kehna hai ki log unhe sirf isliye jaante hain kyunki woh apne kaam mein itni successful hain — na ki isliye kyunki woh koi celebrity hain. Unhone yeh baat Adweek ke event mein kahi, jahan woh apni journey aur success ke baare mein baat kar rahi thin.
Unka message simple tha: “I’m a CEO that’s done so well that you know my name.” Yeh unke hard work aur dedication ko reflect karta hai, jo unhone apne career mein dikhaya hai.
Hamaari Baat: Emma Grede ka stance ek important reminder hai
Emma Grede ka ‘celebrity CEO’ label reject karna ek important reminder hai. Aaj kal, jab bhi koi Kardashian family ke saath juda hota hai, log automatically assume karte hain ki woh sirf connections ki wajah se successful hai. Lekin Grede ki story alag hai. Unhone apni mehnat se yeh sab hasil kiya — 12 saal ki umar se kaam karke, har level par experience lekar, aur apni expertise ko build karke.
Yeh baat har us insaan ke liye relevant hai jo apni success ko define karna chahta hai. Grede humein yaad dilati hain ki labels se matlab nahi rakhta — asli cheez hai aapka kaam aur aapki mehnat. Woh ek CEO hain jo apni achievements ki wajah se famous hui, na ki celebrity status ki wajah se.
