In March 2025, Skims C.E.O. Jens Grede told staffers that the company was in no rush to I.P.O. after months of speculation. Apparently, some of the brand’s senior executives, many of whom have likely vested their shares, aren’t waiting around to ring the bell at the NYSE. I’m told that Paula Galperin, co–general manager of NikeSkims, just announced her plans to leave the company for a C.E.O. position at another startup. Galperin follows Susan Stroub, the brand’s senior vice president of planning, who I’m told left earlier this month for a position at Vuori.
