Samantha Shih sold her custom clothing company 9Tailors to join LookSky as chief brand officer. Launching a business was challenging because I had little experience in retail and fashion and had to learn everything from scratch. The company started online, keeping no inventory and making everything to order. I loved running my own business but wanted to make more impact, so the opportunity arose at the optimal time. I don't miss running 9Tailors, though I'm incredibly grateful for the experience.
