CNBC – It took a TSA run-in gone wrong for former hedge fund manager Julie Macklowe to take the leap and join the cosmetics world after leaving the financial industry.
After spending more than a decade in finance, at companies like JPMorgan and a unit of Steve Cohen’s SAC Capital Advisors, Macklowe left her own $250 million hedge fund, Macklowe Asset Management, which was backed by Millennium Management, to become an entrepreneur in 2010.
