Camilla Olson

Initially, Camilla Olson was an electron microscopist and biomedical serial entrepreneur. She successfully founded, obtained funding, and attracted top level management for 3 start-ups. 2 of the 3 companies were large data predictive modeling companies in the pharma market and had profitable exits for investors through an IPO and early buy-out. She was a VC with Alan Patricof in NY and Palo Alto. Camilla returned to graduate school to learn design and launched her namesake label on the runway of Lincoln Center during NY Fashion Week. Camilla experienced the inefficiencies in the fashion retail marketplace and realized similar approaches that she successfully used in pharma could be applied to retail. TEDx speaker.
