It would appear that a woman's IQ is directly related to her physical attractiveness. This is probably going to be the situation for female CEOs of big American firms and corporations.
Due to the subjective nature of beauty standards, it is impossible to compile a list of the most beautiful female CEOs.
But KnowInsiders continues to do its best to compile a roster of stunningly beautiful female CEOs who are also very promising and powerful.
"The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years" - Audrey Hepburn |

Wolfe Herd worked for a short time in South East Asian orphanages after graduating from high school. At age 22, he joined Hatch Labs. She met Sean Rad at this New York City incubator and joined the Cardify startup there. However, the project was put on hold in the end. However, because she was dating Rad, she quickly became involved in his other project, a dating app called Tinder that he launched with Chris Gulczynski in 2012.
Wolfe Herd came up with the name for the app and was also in charge of marketing it. The signature flame logo is based on her experience lighting the fireplace at her dad's cabin in Montana with tinder, which are small sticks. Wolfe Herd quit Tinder in 2014 because she had a disagreement with the company's leaders. She then made her own dating app to give women more power. This is how Bumble began. By 2017, more than 22 million people had signed up to use Bumble.
In addition to being the CEO of the recently acquired MagicLab, the parent company of several well-known dating apps (Bumble, Latch, and Badoo), Wolfe Herd is one of the most influential women in technology today. MagicLab is valued at US$3 billion and has an estimated 75 million users across its whole portfolio.

10. Joanne Crevoiserat - Tapestry, Inc.
Joanne Crevoiserat |
She was born in 1965 and is the CEO of Tapestry, Inc., a company based in New York that owns Stuart Weitzman, Kate Spade, and Coach. Tapestry is now in a good position to pass its parent company, American conglomerate Michael Kors, as the company deals with the effects of the pandemic. This is because it bought Versace and Michael Kors owner Capri.
In 2019, Crevoiserat became the chief financial officer at Tapestry. Before that, he held important roles at Wal-Mart Stores, May Department Store, Kohl's Inc., and most recently, Abercrombie & Fitch as the chief operating officer.
Crevoiserat was made Tapestry's acting CEO in the summer of 2020. She had to lead the company through the terrible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and a tough Coach turnaround right away. In an interview with BoF, Crevoiserat talked about a digital transformation that would help Tapestry's brands understand what customers want and serve them better. Online shopping sales went through the roof, and by 2022, the group had made $6.7 billion, which was 11% more than it had before the pandemic.
Tapestry said in August 2023 that it would pay $8.5 billion to buy its competitor Capri. The two companies will now make more than $12 billion a year together. Even though Capri's brands have their own problems, Crevoiserat believes that Versace, Michael Kors, and Jimmy Choo could all benefit from the way she runs her business at Tapestry.
"The customer is changing quickly in how and where they shop and how and when they learn about brands." Because their values are becoming more clear, they want to work with companies that share those values. In 2023, Crevoiserat told BoF that the authenticity of a brand is very important.
