In today’s edition: Trump vs. D.C., the upside of “great jeans,” and exec moves to have on your radar. It’s that time of year when change is in the air. School is starting, leaves will soon be changing, and women are, as per usual, making moves. We haven’t brought you our usual Movers & Shakers section in a bit, so here are some the latest moves of note in corporate America and beyond:
Michelle Battersby worked with
Michelle Kennedy in the earliest days of Bumble. The Michelles just got back together, with Battersby joining Kennedy’s startup Peanut as president. Peanut is a social network for moms.
The Ad Council hired
Jennifer Mamlet as chief development officer. Mamlet was acting president and CEO of the JCC Association of North America. The Ad Council board is
currently being chaired by Disney advertising exec Rita Ferro.
Nemat (Minouche) Shafik, the former president of Columbia who left after a difficult tenure marked by campus unrest over Gaza, has a new gig. She’ll be
chief economic adviser to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Kara Brothers, who ran the popular pimple-patch brand Starface,
stepped down from her role as president.
CDC director
Susan Monarez was the latest Trump administration official to be fired last week. As Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook
fights back against her own removal, Monarez’s will raise questions this week. HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is
expected to face tough questioning on the firing in a Senate Finance Committee hearing today.
