Women entrepreneurs to watch in 2017

Two Olin alumnae are featured on the list of Top 20 Female Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2017 published by CIO.com*. The CEOs represent a wide range of startups including medtech, edtech, spacetech, VR and fashion technology. Congratulations to Amanda Signorelli and Atima Lui, you’ve been our list of leaders to watch since you were undergrads!

Here’s what CIO had to say about these entrepreneurs:

Amanda Signorelli, BSBA ’13

“If you haven’t heard of Techweek yet, you’re bound to at some point in 2017.  Amanda Signorelli, CEO of Techweek, is building tech-based entrepreneurial communities in major cities across North America, helping local business break through.”

Atima Lui,  BSBA ’12

“Atima Lui  (pictured above and at right), noticed that nude-colored fashion didn’t always represent the tone of a woman’s skin. To fix this, Lui started Nudest – a wildly popular fashion brand that creates a nude-colored tailored specifically to each individual woman. Nudest is a huge success, and it’s exciting to imagine what Lui will do next.”
