Jenny Fleiss Speaking Fee: $30,000 to $50,000

Jenny Fleiss is a visionary entrepreneur and a dynamic keynote speaker, known for her pioneering role in reshaping retail experiences. As the co-founder of Rent the Runway, she revolutionized the fashion industry by offering a platform that allows consumers to rent high-end designer clothing instead of purchasing it. This innovative concept democratized access to luxury fashion and established her reputation as a trailblazer in the sharing economy. Born and raised in New York City, Jenny's entrepreneurial spirit was evident from an early age. She pursued her undergraduate studies at Yale University, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics. Her academic journey continued at Harvard Business School, where she met Jennifer Hyman, her future business partner. Together, the duo recognized a gap in the market and envisioned a new business model that would transform how women interacted with fashion. Rent the Runway, launched in 2009, quickly gained traction and has since become a hallmark success story. Over the years, Jenny's leadership and strategic foresight have contributed to the company's growth, including its ventures into subscription services and innovative technologies. Her achievements with Rent the Runway have been widely recognized, earning her numerous accolades and placing her on prominent business lists, including Fortune's '40 Under 40'. After her tenure at Rent the Runway, Jenny's entrepreneurial journey continued with Jetblack, a startup initiated under Walmart's incubator, Store No. 8. Jetblack aimed to redefine the future of shopping through personal concierge services powered by artificial intelligence. Although Jetblack has since been folded into Walmart’s broader e-commerce strategy, Jenny's vision for integrating technology with personal shopping experiences continues to inspire new ventures. Beyond her business endeavors, Jenny is passionate about empowering the next generation of female entrepreneurs. She frequently speaks at conferences and forums, sharing her insights on innovation, leadership, and the evolving landscape of commerce. Her engaging storytelling and practical advice make her a sought-after speaker, inspiring audiences worldwide to challenge conventional boundaries and pursue transformative ideas.
