At age 35, Stitch Fix founder Katrina Lake became the youngest female founder and CEO to take a company public in 2017. 

Stitch Fix is now worth over two billion dollars. She has not only changed the way many of us shop for clothes, but she’s also changing how we think about leaders. Find out she learned to embrace her history-making role as the youngest woman to take a startup to IPO. We spoke on stage at INFORUM at the Commonwealth Club of California.
