Stella & Dot’s CEO On The Brink Of Making A Billion Dollars
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
It’s a sunny, cold morning in Manhattan, too early for most people to be up. But in the New York showroom of the costume jewelry retailer Stella & Dot, a posse of chic employees are already caffeinated and hard at work. They are shoulder to shoulder around a long conference table, looking at bling—bib necklaces, bangle bracelets, cocktail rings, a rhinestone brooch fanned in feathers.
Busy grouping pieces into families is a raven-haired woman dressed like a high-fashion biker, right down to her black ankle boots: Jessica Herrin, 39, Stella & Dot’s CEO and founder. She lines up a row of necklaces, pulling out a golden rope chain that has a dangling trio of hearts.
She puts it around her neck and hoists the chain until the pendants lie against her sternum. “We need midlength,” she says decisively to her team. “It’s a style that works for everyone, everywhere. Dresses up or down. It’s fun or functional.”
Herrin’s close attention to her products and to the reasons women buy them has turned the business into a huge success. Since relaunching in 2007, Stella & Dot (stelladot.com) has paid out more than $100 million in commissions to its 20,000 sales reps.

by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Houston resident Tania Rivera always had problems maintaining her weight. She especially struggled mentally and physically after losing her stepfather and the family’s home in a short period of time.
After that, Tania lost her purpose in life, gained weight, and became anti-social.
“I was a size 12, weighed 177 lbs., and lacked confidence in myself,” says Tania.
However, having been raised by a single mother, Tania learned to overcome adversity. She switched her mentality and was determined to lose weight.
“I decided to stop creating barriers for myself. I wanted to see how far I could go,” she says.
Tania blocked herself from all distractions, hit the gym, and pushed herself passed her limits until she went down to 148 lbs. But during the holiday season, she had trouble maintaining her weight again.

Ackman Prepares To Extend Bet Against Herbalife
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Bill Ackman, the hedge-fund manager who has mounted a two-year campaign to prove Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) is a pyramid scheme, will extend his bet against the company should he need to.
The cost of maintaining a position in options that profit from a drop in Herbalife shares has declined “substantially” since Herbalife canceled its dividend, Ackman said in his quarterly letter to investors dated today. Most of the over-the-counter contracts Pershing currently holds will expire next year.
“We will extend their terms by paying additional premiums if it is necessary to do so,” Ackman wrote in the letter, which was obtained by Bloomberg News.
Ackman has bet $1 billion against Herbalife and mounted a campaign that was capped by a more than three-hour presentation on July 22 purporting to show that the company is an Enron-style fraud. Investors brushed off his arguments, sending the stock up 25 percent in one day.
Today’s letter also acknowledged that the lengthy presentation and the hype he generated ahead of it were missteps. Herbalife shares, which have since tumbled after the company’s earnings missed projections later in July, are down almost 20 percent in the past year.
