The BBC’s weekly The Boss series profiles different business leaders from around the world. This week we speak to Katrina Lake, founder of online fashion business Stitch Fix.
For the first six years running Stitch Fix, Katrina Lake wasn’t comfortable with being labeled a female business leader.
“I didn’t join the women in business clubs, and I just never thought of myself as a quote-unquote feminist,” she says.
We asked eight of the entrepreneurs featured on our 100 Powerful Women list: If you could go back and change one business decision you made, what would it be?
“The most valuable use of my time was when I invested in recruiting and retaining great people. If I could go back, I’d literally double down: double the time I spent making sure we have and keep the incredible people that help our business be successful and grow.”
