Alex von Furstenberg is born to nobility. Unlike most princes we read about in fairy tales, though, who do nothing much but slay dragons and save princesses from evil stepmothers or poisoned apples, he has accomplished far more, both in his professional and personal life. He made a name for himself in the financial services industry, choosing a career that constantly requires number-crunching, taking risks, and trading. He is responsible for transforming his famous mother’s brand, the Diane von Furstenberg Studio, LP, into the global luxury lifestyle brand it is known for today, restructuring it and successfully increasing its annual revenue from $1 million to more than $200 million. He serves as Partner and Director of the company. Alex von Furstenberg also serves on the Board of Directors of IAC, an internet company with more than 50 brands across 40 countries.
