Business
Before joining the family business,
Trump worked for
Forest City Enterprises, and joined forces with
Dynamic Diamond Corp., a diamond trading company sightholder, to design and introduce a line of jewelry at the brand's first flagship retail store called
Ivanka Trump on
Madison Avenue.
Trump is currently
Executive Vice President of
Development & Acquisitions at the
Trump Organization. On the work drive among her and her siblings, she has stated, "I look at my brothers and myself and I’m, like, really proud of the fact that nobody’s
. . . a drug addict, nobody’s driving around chasing women, snorting coke."
She has also released her own line of handbags and footwear. Trump serves on the
Board of
100 Women in Hedge Funds, an industry organization which provides support to women professionals in finance.

Television appearances
The Apprentice
In
2006, she filled in for
Carolyn Kepcher on five episodes of her father's television program
The Apprentice 5, first appearing to help judge the
Gillette task in week 2. Like Kepcher, Trump visited the site of the tasks and spoke to the teams, asking them pointed questions. She also evaluated contestants in the boardroom, pointing out critical errors and rebutting excuses they offered for losing the tasks. Though initially unsympathetic to the contestants, Trump later said, "
Whenever I see their breakdowns, I understand. They go virtually
24 hours a day, and each task takes about three days. Unless they win, they don't get a day off
... It's an incredible amount of work..." Trump now collaborates with season 5 winner
Sean Yazbeck on his winner's project of choice,
Trump SoHo Hotel-Condominium.
Trump replaced Carolyn Kepcher as a primary boardroom judge during the
Apprentice 6 and
The Celebrity Apprentice.
