Angela Ahrendts
So this article is about Angela Ahrendts who is the CEO of Burberry. Yes the fashion company.
I found this to be a particularly good read because this woman worked herself from the very bottom to the top of a 2 billion dollar company. Her favorite moment as Burberry’s CEO is when she got to give the commencement speech at her alma mater because she knew that for 23 minutes she could touch the lives of everyone sitting in front of her.
She’s composed herself to never be/seem pretentious. She’s a leader not just in fashion but also in work ethics. She really wants to be a good CEO of her company. That’s awesome!

“She was one of the few people who knew not to take things personally,” Wachner says. “She never flinched, never whined, never shirked. She was a class act, and I can’t say that about too many people.”
