Former Apple retail boss Angela Ahrendts has been appointed as the senior operating adviser at SKKY Partners, the private equity firm founded by reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian. SKKY Partners focuses on investments in consumer products, e-commerce, media, and entertainment, and was co-founded by Kardashian and ex-Carlyle executive Jay Sammons last year. Ahrendts, known for her leadership at Apple and as CEO of luxury fashion brand Burberry, brings extensive experience in brand-building and cultural influence to the firm. In her new role, Ahrendts will work closely with Kardashian, Sammons, and the rest of the SKKY team to identify prospective investment opportunities and support the firm’s investments in emerging consumer brands. Alongside her position at SKKY, Ahrendts also serves as a board member for Ralph Lauren Corporation, Airbnb, and WPP. The highly anticipated first investment for SKKY Partners is yet to be made, but Kardashian has expressed confidence in identifying brands with significant growth potential. With a net worth of $1.7 billion, Kardashian has built a thriving business empire that includes Skims, her successful shapewear brand valued at $4 billion. Kris Jenner, Kardashian’s mother, is also a senior operating adviser at SKKY Partners.
