Kimberly Carney is founder and CEO of Fashwire, a technology platform built to connect fashion designers directly with consumers through real-time data and interactive shopping features. Drawing on more than 15 years in specialty retail combined with a background in technology, she built the platform to give designers direct access to consumer insight while letting shoppers have a more active role in shaping product decisions.
Under her leadership, Fashwire has ranked consistently among the top paid shopping apps in the App Store since late 2019. Carney has paired the platform's data and machine-learning-driven trend forecasting with community-oriented features designed to keep the shopping experience personal rather than purely transactional.
She has also built philanthropy into the company through its FashGive initiative and is an outspoken advocate for women in technology, leading a majority-women team with the belief that empowered women, in turn, empower other women.
