利比?瓦德爾

? 目前頭銜：服裝品牌J.Crew董事長

? 上榜時間（排名）：2011年（第23位）

瓦德爾自從2004年加入校園風格時裝品牌J.Crew以來一直平步青云。2010年，公司前任董事長特蕾西?加德納離職，由瓦德爾接任。新工作的內容包括監督J.Crew的零售與直營業務，Crewcuts和J.Crew工廠直銷店——瓦德爾在2005年左右曾負責過該部門。在她的領導下，這個部門的銷量增加了兩倍。J.Crew公司的CEO米奇?德雷克斯勒認為，這次提拔是對“團隊的認可”，而不是“繼任計劃”。但業內觀察家們認為，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.
