Leslie Vickrey
Chief Executive Officer & Founder
Overall leader who sets the vision and strategy for the company. Ultimate brand ambassador.
Hometown
Chicago (grew up in Michigan, but Chicago is where we call home)
Shining moment:
My Greyson moment. Realizing I can have it all and that having it all means different things to different people. For me, it means perspective on what being a CEO, mom, wife, sister, friend, mentor, etc. means all wrapped up in one. It also means rising up other people on our team so I can enjoy my Greyson moment.
Proudest achievement:
Taking a clear stance on helping other women thrive – and doing it in an award-winning fashion.
Little-known fact:
My husband + I used to own an MMA gym.
Favorite Superheroes:
The generations of women before me in our family who moved to our country, took risks, owned their own businesses or worked multiple jobs and humbly raised families. I appreciate their stories and the sacrifices they made more and more every day. I like to think of them as another era’s unconventional, liberated women who would be pretty bad-ass today.
Guilty Pleasure(s):
Pizza, prosecco + Scandal (not necessarily together – scratch that, together).
Super Power(s):
Making connections, solving problems, taking action (#GSD)
