Felipe Cortina
Felipe Cortina is the co-founder and co-CEO of Jimmy Lion, the colorful sock brand he launched in New York in 2014 with fellow ex-banker Alvaro Gomis. A Madrid native who traded an investment-banking career for an NYU Stern MBA and then for a single product nobody else seemed to take seriously, Cortina turned the most forgettable item in a wardrobe into a design object sold in more than 30 countries and on the shelves of El Corte Ingles, Galeries Lafayette and El Palacio de Hierro. He also chairs his family's Vallegarcia winery in Toledo.
