利比?瓦德爾

? 目前頭銜：服裝品牌J.Crew董事長(zhǎng)

? 上榜時(shí)間（排名）：2011年（第23位）

瓦德爾自從2004年加入校園風(fēng)格時(shí)裝品牌J.Crew以來(lái)一直平步青云。2010年，公司前任董事長(zhǎng)特蕾西?加德納離職，由瓦德爾接任。新工作的內(nèi)容包括監(jiān)督J.Crew的零售與直營(yíng)業(yè)務(wù)，Crewcuts和J.Crew工廠直銷店——瓦德爾在2005年左右曾負(fù)責(zé)過(guò)該部門。在她的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，這個(gè)部門的銷量增加了兩倍。J.Crew公司的CEO米奇?德雷克斯勒認(rèn)為，這次提拔是對(duì)“團(tuán)隊(duì)的認(rèn)可”，而不是“繼任計(jì)劃”。但業(yè)內(nèi)觀察家們認(rèn)為，瓦德爾距離CEO的位置又近了一步。

Libby Wadle

? Current title: President of J.Crew Brand

? Year on list (rank): 2011 (No. 23)

Wadle has been steadily climbing through the ranks at the preppy fashion powerhouse since she arrived in 2004. In her new role as president of the J.Crew Brand, she replaces Tracy Gardner, who left in 2010. The job includes oversight of both the retail and direct businesses of J.Crew, Crewcuts and the J.Crew factory outlet -- a division Wadle ran in the mid-2000s, tripling sales. J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler called the promotion a "recognition of the team," and "not at all any succession plan," but industry observers saw it as Wadle moving one step closer to the CEO spot.
