Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on work-life balance as a CEO: 'I'm still going to chaperone the first-grade field trip' | Fortune
""I want the life-work balance, if such a thing exists," she said at Fortune's Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. "I'm still going to go and chaperone the first-grade field trip, and then run back and try to finish the meetings.""
""That sounds ridiculous, but I love it," the Duchess said."
""The brand is an extension of my aesthetic," she told Fortune 's Editor in Chief Alyson Shontell. "But it's more than that. The operational side is so key. I am constantly looking at ways in which we can adjust our margins [and what] our spend looks like [by] really going through P&L.""
""work-life harmony.""
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, founded and serves as CEO of As Ever while also overseeing Archewell Productions and the Archewell Foundation. She is a mother of two who prioritizes family activities such as chaperoning first-grade field trips and packing lunches alongside her business duties. As Ever launched with Netflix as a major investor and partner, and some products sold out within hours. The As Ever team remains lean with fewer than ten employees, and Meghan stays involved in both creative direction and operational details, including margins, spending and P&L review. Many CEOs frame work-life balance differently, with some preferring the term work-life harmony.
