Rebecca Minkoff

Rebecca Minkoff’s journey began with a fearless leap—moving to New York City at just 18 to chase a dream in fashion. With no roadmap and few resources, she turned a love for design into a global brand synonymous with accessible luxury. Her iconic handbag designs became instant favorites, not just for their style, but for the bold, independent spirit they represent. Her bold aesthetic speaks to women who defy convention and live on their own terms, much like Rebecca herself. 

But what truly sets Rebecca apart isn’t just her success as a designer. It’s her unwavering commitment to lifting others as she climbs. In 2018, she launched the Female Founder Collective, a powerful network of women-led businesses committed to advancing financial equity and opportunity for women at every level. As a leader and speaker, Rebecca is transparent, resilient, and embodies an unshakable belief in the power of community. She is exclusively represented by Leading Authorities speakers bureau. 

Audiences are drawn to Rebecca not only for her fashion-forward vision, but for her realness. Through her Superwomen podcast and candid speaking engagements, she shares the unfiltered side of entrepreneurship and life like navigating setbacks, battling fear, and balancing life with ambition. Her conversations with everyone from CEOs to creatives are marked by humor, vulnerability, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from doing the work yourself. She lives empowerment, models it, and invites others to do the same. 

In 2021, she broke new ground again as the first American female designer to launch an NFT collection during New York Fashion Week, which sold out in under eight minutes. Whether through tech, fashion, or community-building, Rebecca continues to redefine what it means to be a modern leader. Her talks leave audiences energized and inspired, reminding them that fear is not a weakness but a compass to guide them through the impossible.
