“I had to build the brain behind the radar, because all the previous radars were not as effective and didn’t have enough power.”That’s the kind of bold thinking that put Achour on our 50 Over 50: Vision list. Produced in partnership with Mika Brzezinski’s Know Your Value initiative, this list highlights women over the age of 50 who are bringing breakthrough technologies and creative thinking to science, art, technology and healthcare. Last month, we launched the 50 Over 50: Impact to spotlight women over 50 who are changing their communities through social entrepreneurship, advocacy, and education. In 2009, she launched “Green Eileen,” a buyback program for Eileen Fisher customers looking to streamline their closets. And like so many of the women on the 50 Over 50: Vision list, Flores is on the hunt for her next entrepreneurial exploit.
