My Mentor, Patti Cohen, On The Story of How She Helped Build Donna Karan & DKNY Into a Global Powerhouse, and How To Be A (ROCKSTAR) Leader

Patti Cohen is my mentor. As employee #1 at Donna Karan International, she was the former EVP of Global Marketing and Communications and is hugely responsible for creating these powerhouse brands. Patti is the epitome of what a leader should be.
