Get to know the cast of “The CEO Club”

With Women's History Month just around the corner, it’s a great time to acknowledge both the incredible accomplishments of women and the gaps in pay and representation that still persist today. For the remarkable women who have ascended the highest rungs of the corporate ladder, how did they get there? How do they find that ever-elusive “work-life balance,” if such a thing exists? And how are they helping pave the way to empower the next generation of female leaders, particularly those with diverse backgrounds and abilities?

Enter The CEO Club, Prime Video’s new eight-part docuseries following seven powerhouse women entrepreneurs and executives as they navigate pressures and passions at the top of their fields. The star-studded cast includes Serena Williams, Winnie Harlow, Hannah Bronfman, Thalia, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Loren Ridinger, and Isabela Rangel Grutman.
