Emma Grede Biography
Emma Grede is a British entrepreneur and brand builder recognized for her contributions to the fashion and consumer goods industries. Grede began her career in fashion show production before founding and serving as CEO of ITB Worldwide, a company specializing in entertainment marketing and talent management. She played a key role in establishing partnerships between high-profile celebrities and major brands, including collaborations between Natalie Portman and Dior and Kendall Jenner and Calvin Klein.
Grede launched Good American, a B-Corp certified apparel brand known for its focus on inclusivity in the fashion industry. Good American was named one of Fast Company's "Most Innovative Companies" and achieved significant commercial success, including generating $1 million in sales on its first day and reaching $200 million in annual sales. Grede also co-founded SKIMS, a solutions-oriented brand specializing in underwear, loungewear, and shapewear. SKIMS has been valued at $4 billion and was recognized by TIME as one of its "100 Most Influential Companies." Expanding her reach beyond fashion, Grede co-founded Safely, a plant-based cleaning products brand, and collaborated with Kristin Juszczyk, the National Football League, and Fanatics to launch the sports apparel brand Off Season.
On television, Grede is a recurring guest Shark on ABC's "Shark Tank," where she became the first female judge of color on the show. She has also appeared as a guest Dragon on BBC's "Dragon's Den." Grede created and hosted the Roku series "Side Hustlers" and launched the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast, both of which focus on entrepreneurship and brand building.
Grede has been recognized by Forbes as one of America's Richest Self-Made Women and one of America's Richest Self-Made Women Under 40. She serves as chairwoman of the 15 Percent Pledge, an initiative encouraging retailers to dedicate 15 percent of shelf space to Black-owned businesses, and sits on the board of directors for the Obama Foundation. As an investor and advocate for diversity, sustainability, and inclusivity, Grede continues to influence the business landscape and the evolution of purpose-driven brands.
