After co-founding The Honest Company in 2011, Jessica Alba is stepping down from her leadership role as Chief Creative Officer. The Honey star has helped build a wildly successful company, which has a net worth of $365.35 million as of April 9, 2024. But she is not walking away from the company completely; she will keep her role as a member of the board of directors, where she will provide strategic advice.

The proud mom called the experience of building Honest “a true labor of love.” “From the first concept book I pitched to my friends in Mommy and Me class, to ringing the bell at Nasdaq with my family by my side - this journey has been the ride of a lifetime, one that only existed in my wildest dreams,” she wrote.
A new creative chapter for Jessica Alba

She made a return to acting in 2021 for the action film Trigger Warning, which will be released this year on Netflix. The 42-year-old actress is also starring in the Matt Damon and Ben Affleck executive film Flash Before The Bang, which is currently in pre-production according to IMDB.
