Co-Founder, Chairman, Tilly’s
WHY: Founder of one of OC’s largest retail chains, key account for many action sports and streetwear brands.
RECENT: Company made an about-face during the August quarter, reversing a slow start to finish out with better-than-expected performance for the period. Scene stealer: rushed the podium at Business Journal’s CFO Awards event in January to laud Tilly’s winner Michael Henry and OCBJ’s Richard Reisman (see entries).
NOTABLE: Company namesake, ex-wife Tilly Levine is founder of Tilly’s Life Center, focused on youth empowerment.
