Nell Diamond is the founder & CEO of Hill House, the US fashion and lifestyle brand that is home to the beloved Nap dress. In this episode, we explore her CEO superpower: Empathy. Nell started her career on Wall Street working in finance before discovering that she could marry her love of traditional trappings or ‘women’s work’ to build a fiscally successful and internationally adored business. As Nell says, “why can’t I care about my 401K and my monogram at the same time? Why can’t I really love pink and also get a promotion ahead of any other man”. In this inspiring conversation, we learn about how to build a company culture that results in staff retention and how to use empathy, and clear communication to create lasting and meaningful relationships with your suppliers to prepare for downturns. Nell is also a Mother to 3 young children including twins so we deep dive the realities of being a working Mother with 50 staff. Nell is the ultimate example of a woman who is practicing the CEO YOURSELF philosophy and it’s an honour to have her in our temporary studio in London, visiting from NYC. You can find Nell on instagram @nelliediamond and on TikTok @nelliednycHill House Home is available via https://www.hillhousehome.com and on IG @hillhouse Hosted on Acast.
