EP 5 - Allison Samek - CEO - Fred Segal

If you’re after cutting-edge Southern California style, Fred Segal is where you go to get it. From clothing to accessories to home décor, if you pick it up at one of two Los Angeles locations, there’s a guaranteed cool factor. At the top of the Fred Segal empire, you'll find CEO, Allison Samek. She came out of college armed with a Stanford MBA and quickly set out to build a career in retail. Allison shares with Linda why she suddenly stepped away from her top job (she was at retailer Ron Herman at the time) to be a full time mom to her two sons—and then had the self-actualization to admit she needed more in her life. With audacity and hutzpah, Allison shares how she overcame the "imposter syndrome" (that so many of us get when we've stayed at home for awhile) and jumped back into retail with the head honcho job at Fred Segal. Hear this retail maven's savvy tips for managing a big job with motherhood. It is possible, ladies.
