Lyons may not be a household name, but she is the president of one of America’s favorite fashion outlets, J. Crew. The designer caught the attention of the founder CEO of the famous brand Mickey Drexler, who was bowled over by her talent.
“Her collections were unlike nothing I’ve ever seen,” gushed Drexler, who couldn’t wait to get her on board. Her expertise has seen J. Crew’s sales double in the past seven years. Now, the company is worth around $1.7 billion dollars thanks to Lyons. In an extremely competitive industry, Jenna is bringing home the bacon.
