Just ten years prior, the Canadian-born entrepreneur — a former consultant at McKinsey & Company — founded a blog about the business side of the fashion industry from his home in Notting Hill, London. Today, The Business of Fashion (BoF) attracts 1.3 million unique visitors each month. To suggest that Amed and BoF were operating at the vanguard of the global fashion industry would be quite the understatement.
