Synopsis

Kate Davidson Hudson was supposed to climb the career ladder every fashion girl dreamed of.  Instead, she walked away and built a tech company from scratch. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with the founder and CEO of a shoppable AI closet platform, Vêtir, and a longtime force in fashion media and luxury tech. From her early days at Harper’s Bazaar and Elle Magazine to co-founding the content-meets-commerce platform Editorialist, Kate has always been at the intersection of editorial storytelling and digital innovation. Kate opens up about the pressure of leaving a dream job, learning to lead without a playbook, and why she became obsessed with personalization and automation. We also get into the risks of fundraising, being a woman in tech, and what happens when you sell a company but stay attached to its soul.
