I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania, where my parents raised German shepherds - we had about 30 dogs at any given time.

One of my greatest talents is recognizing talent in others and giving them the forum to shine.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new directions that others haven’t.

Having an environment that is supportive is really important for success.

I would love to do special products for specific countries. As we go ahead and learn the territories, we're going to do exclusives for each area.

Women have to embrace ambition if they want to. I had a lot of trouble taking compliments in the beginning, and it's really important for women to embrace their title.

I just love the energy of going into different areas of New York.
