Candice Xie
Candice Xie is the co-founder and CEO of Veo, the micromobility company she started in 2017 from West Lafayette, Indiana, while still in her twenties. A finance analyst by training rather than a Silicon Valley engineer, she built Veo into the first North American shared-micromobility operator to reach unadjusted EBIT profitability - reaching roughly $52 million in revenue on about $16 million of total funding, while competitors raised billions and flamed out. Calling herself an 'anti-tech bro' CEO and the 'tortoise' of the scooter race, she designs vehicles in-house, expands one city at a time, and won the largest exclusive micromobility contract in the United States with Denver.
Laura Alber
Laura Alber is the longest-tenured female CEO on the Fortune 500, running Williams-Sonoma, Inc. since 2010. She built Pottery Barn Kids from a business plan she wrote while pregnant, then doubled the parent company's revenue and turned a furniture catalog company into one of the largest digital-first home retailers in America.
