It only takes 15 years to build a fashion empire. Natalie Massenet is the founder of Net A Porter, a global fashion retailer that is headquartered in London. Net A Porter is operated as an online magazine and has nearly 3 million visitors to the site per month. Natalie is an american born former journalist that launched Net A Porter from her apartment in Chelsea. She sold the company in 2010 and is now an investor and executive chairwoman but the question is how did she do it?
Net A Porter is valued at 533 million but of course to get the company to that level there were many years of dedication and hardwork. Natalie attend UCLA, studied English, worked as model and stylist in Tokyo and also worked at Women's Wear Daily. To launch Net A Porter, she got a lot of help from her ex-husband who contributed to the 1.2 million she needed in start-up costs.
Lesson to take from Natalie: You are your own competition.
