The speaker Bio:

It can certainly be said that Stuart Weitzman’s passion for design has been a lifelong pursuit: he began working at his father’s Massachusetts shoe factory while still in college. After graduating from university, Weitzman applied himself to the industry with laserlike focus, eventually building the globally-renowned company that bears his name. Today, his shoes dominate the red carpet events and are worn by loyal celebrity fans like Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts, Nicole Kidman, and by millions of women who buy them in over 75 countries around the world.

Weitzman approaches his other endeavors with equal commitment.  He shares his time with his wife Jane and their two daughters, and aids a number of philanthropic causes close to his heart.  Among these is his mentoring students on their entrepreneurial aspirations at several universities, including Princeton, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and the London Business School.   Weitzman is a graduate of Penn’s Wharton School of Business and in 2019 the university honored him by renaming their design school the Stuart Weitzman School of Design.

During his free time, you may find him on the tennis court or at the ping-pong table.

If you’ve got a racket, he’ll welcome the challenge.
