Donna James is among Ohio’s most successful and admired executives. Her current challenge may be among the most significant of her accomplished career: helping a storied Ohio-based global fashion and style icon re-imagine and re-invent itself after decades of both astounding growth and calls for change. As board chair of Victoria’s Secret & Co., James is helping set the VS&Co. ship on a new course toward far greater inclusivity while working to win over new generations of younger customers who have their own diverse definitions of beauty.
