"We have women running most of our divisions, and we're one of the few global companies with multiple women in high executive levels," she says. More than 70 percent of the Estée Lauder Companies' 42,000 employees are women, says Dimitra Manis, senior vice president of global talent. The company remains a leading employer of women. The company has a huge philanthropic focus, having raised more than $400 million through the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign and the MAC AIDS Fund. It has grown to a global corporation with more than 30 brands, including Clinique, MAC, Aveda, Bobbi Brown, Origins, Smashbox, and the namesake brand which recently made Kendall Jenner its new spokesmodel. Estée Lauder founded her namesake company in 1946 from her apartment.
