1:1 with Joanna Lau + Q&A
Joanna Lau is the Founder, Designer & CEO of JEMMA. JEMMA was established after Joanna experienced a void in women’s workwear as a Trader on Wall Street. Men had work briefcases, whereas women’s accessories didn’t support their leadership and managerial roles, so Joanna envisioned closing a small, but powerful fraction of the gender gap by eliminating intimidation from the workplace and offering opportunity – in the form of handbags. JEMMA empowers women in any role to be fashion-forward and organized, while personifying ambition and the go-getter approach.
Born and raised in Singapore, Joanna is a graduate of NYU Stern School of Business and Parsons School of Design and has worked at Tommy Hilfiger, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. She was also a competitive golfer and former member of the NYU Varsity Golf Team.
