In January 2011, I launched Jean Criss Media—without realizing I was stepping into entrepreneurship. At the time, it simply felt like the next right move after corporate downsizing and major life transitions. What I didn’t know was how profoundly it would shape my life.
Fueled by resilience, determination, and purpose, the lessons learned from surviving breast cancer, rebuilding after divorce, and raising my children as a single mother—from youth through college—gave me the courage to lean into the unknown. What began as a continuation of my career in media, tech, and publishing quickly evolved into something far greater: a space to create, innovate, and lead with impact on my own terms.
Over time, that leap became a journey of discovery—exploring new industries, embracing creativity, and building a platform rooted in innovation, sustainability, and women’s empowerment. It taught me how powerful it can be to step beyond comfort zones and trust the process, even when the path ahead is unclear.
Today, more than 15 years later, I’m grateful to say I truly love what I do. I’m currently writing my sixth book, Fearless by Design, exploring how adversity becomes fuel for innovation, while preparing to launch several exciting ventures in 2026.
The journey has taught me that growth lives beyond comfort—and purpose thrives when we stay open to possibility. I’m energized by what’s ahead—the people, ideas, emerging technologies, and global connections that continue to shape the future and what’s still to come.

I’m thrilled to share that pre-orders will be opening for my sixth title! It’s currently in development and set to be self-published in 2026—more details coming soon.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BArcd6tuL/

Excited to share that I’m now taking pre-orders for my sixth title in development, to be self-published in 2026.

Fearless by Design begins where fear ends — in love, purpose, and creation.

This story was born from a reflection on living boldly and creating meaning through adversity, fueled by the courage to imagine and the conviction to create. It represents the culmination of many lifetimes of work — from my beginnings in media, fashion, and technology to my purpose-driven innovations in healthcare and design.

At its heart, this book is a reminder that what begins in pain can transform into something profoundly beautiful when guided by purpose and love.

Written & designed by Jean Criss

Davos is where ideas meet action, and I’m proud to be part of conversations driving real, global impact.

Fashion doesn’t need more disruption—it needs restoration.

I’m deeply honored to serve as a moderator for RECLAIM, a two-day regenerative panel series by Fusion Fashion Tech Society in collaboration with Re.Stance Collective.

RECLAIM is a pause in the noise. A return to questions fashion has long avoided—ethics, impact, ancestral wisdom, emerging technologies, and the systems quietly shaping our future. Set within an immersive slow-fashion environment, it invites us to listen more closely, move more intentionally, and imagine what fashion can become when care leads the way.

As a fashion creator who designs with intent and purpose, holding space for these conversations—ones that guide us from extraction toward regeneration—feels both meaningful and necessary. This is where repair begins. This is where new stories take root.
