Jenna Lyons at the 2023 CFDA Fashion Awards
Lyon's nonstop schedule during her time as J. Crew's president made her "exhausted." But that doesn't mean leaving the role was easy for her.
  • J. Crew's former president Jenna Lyons recalled working over ten hours a day.
  • Lyons spoke on a recent podcast, which was released Monday. 
  • Lyons said she worked 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. with no breaks, then answered phone calls at home.

J.Crew's former president sounds relieved to no longer be working the long hours often expected of executives.
