Ann Moore of Time Inc.

Through SWIM (Sloan Women in Management) I recently had the opportunity to breakfast with Ann Moore, CEO of Time Inc. First of all, she’s got a fire-y personality! You can imagine the things she had to fight through working at Sports Illustrated, Fortune, and People back in the 70’s. There was one thing that I remember so clearly - Real Simple, the magazine, was an idea that was born out of one piece of data they found - women were spending 45 minutes every day just LOOKING FOR STUFF. Hey, that’s me! She launched the magazine in 2000 to help women organize their lives so they can have time to do other things. Good stuff.
