Kim Kardashian Muses with Carine Roitfeld in CR Fashion Book 23 Cover 1 of 11 AOC Fashion

If 21st century culture and spirituality had goddesses, Kim Kardashian could easily be she who presided over social media, reality television, fashion and entrepreneurship.

In mid-August, AOC noted that Angela Ahrendts of Burberry and Apple stores fame has joined SKKY Partners at a senior operating adviser level. That’s Kim’s equity investment firm formed with longtime Carlyle Group consumer head Jay Sammons.

What is that shared mission and values, AOC asks.

Visiting Ahrendts’ IG, we learn that in a March 2022 episode of ‘New Human Movement’, authors Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini probed Ahrendts’ brain, discussing how leadership needs to be reimagined for a new age. Note that not only reformed leadership is part of this business superstar’s purview. In her own words:
