Tina Sharkey isn't someone you can sum up too briefly. She's spent over two decades building brands, businesses, and platforms, from iVillage, later sold to NBC, to AOL, and Brandless, which kicked off with a $300 million investment. She's a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, board member and mentor, whose name shows up on big-name lists like the ‘Top 100 People Transforming Business,' and the ’Most Daring Entrepreneurs.’ We caught up on how a 15-minute meeting out of college ended up changing her career path, handling the toughest moments in business, and the one key thing she teaches as a mentor.
