Entertainment Personality, executive producer, entrepreneur, and mom Kourtney Kardashian Barker has been a staple in the American media since 2007, when she rose to fame as the witty, monotoned sister alongside her family on the hit E! Entertainment reality series "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." In 2021, after 15 years, 20 seasons, and multiple spin-offs, Kardashian Barker and her family parted ways with E! and began their journey with Hulu, where they produce and star in the successful documentary-style reality show "The Kardashians."
Kourtney, an advocate for clean living, founded Poosh in 2019 as a content-meets-commerce lifestyle platform that promotes living your best life with actionable insights and tips. Poosh remains a trusted destination to inform and inspire across multiple content verticals including sustainable practices, healthy recipes, sex and relationships, clean beauty, and mindfulness hacks.
Kourtney's commitments to both health and the environment have continued as she has advocated for the cleanup of the Santa Susana Field Lab and successfully lobbied congress alongside the Environmental Working Group for the Personal Care Products Safety Act, helping implement cleaner standards for personal care products.
Leading the fashion e-commerce market and founded in Manchester in 2006, the group started life as boohoo.com, an inclusive and innovative brand targeting young, value-orientated customers. For over ten years, boohoo has been pushing boundaries to bring its customers up-to-date and inspirational fashion, 24/7. In early 2017, the group extended its customer offering through the acquisitions of the vibrant fashion brand PrettyLittleThing, and free-thinking brand Nasty Gal. United by a shared customer value proposition, our brand's design, source, market, and sell great quality clothes, shoes and accessories at unbeatable prices. This investment proposition has helped the group grow from a single brand into a major multi-brand online retailer, leading the fashion e-commerce market for 16 to 30-year-olds around the world. The boohoo group has continued to further strengthen its multi-brand platform, in 2019, the group acquired online womenswear retailer Miss Pap and UK brands Karen Millen and Coast.
