Sari Sloane has never been afraid to take risks—in fact, it’s the key to her success. Once a Wall Street analyst, she made a drastic career change when she left to become a buyer at Bergdorf Goodman. While there, she designed her own line of embroidered sweaters, Sari Cashmere, selling them at Bergdorf’s before leaving to grow the collection. When the Long Island native landed an account with fashion brand Intermix, it led to her 15-year stint as the retailer’s fashion director, where she became known for her market-savvy, trend-setting style.
