Welcome to the CEO Diet, a monthly series in Bloomberg Businessweek, where executives from around the world tell us how they manage their time in and out of the office. We’ve touched on universal subjects: Their preferred breakfast, exercise routine, drink order. Now, we’re talking about clothes. Among the things you’ll see is a serious commitment to Uniqlo, a preference for 7 For All Mankind jeans, and an affinity for the color black.
In her job overseeing Sodexo Live! North America, which caters major events like the Paris 2024 Olympics and the Miami F1 Grand Prix, Belinda Oakley requires outfits for all kinds of occasions. “Packing would be a lot easier with a turtleneck and jeans for a uniform, but how boring would that be? I love embracing color and femininity in my wardrobe. I like timeless and vintage-inspired pieces and accentuated waistlines.” The native Australian is also used to covering a lot of ground, literally. “I have a penchant for pointy-toe shoes when I’m not running around a stadium in kicks.”
