Andrej Strojin
Andrej Strojin is the co-founder and CEO of HAVERHILL, a Warren, Rhode Island fine-jewelry house that makes 14k gold, birthstone-personalized pieces to order rather than in advance. A Slovenian-trained mechanical engineer and former Deloitte and Strategy& consultant, he met fifth-generation jeweler Haverhill Leach on a dating app in 2018, married her four months later, and turned her artisan brand into a fast-scaling direct-to-consumer operation. When COVID shut down suppliers before Mother's Day 2020, the couple built a jewelry assembly line in their garage and cut turnaround from seven days to one. Under Strojin the company has quadrupled sales, reached $16M in 2024 revenue, and landed on the Inc. 5000 three years running.
Samuel Ethiopia
Samuel Ethiopia is the CEO and co-founder of DocSpera, a Silicon Valley surgical coordination platform used by thousands of surgeons and 300-plus health systems to synchronize the messy stretch between a surgical decision and a patient's recovery. A chemical engineer turned strategy consultant turned operator, he carried a Kellogg MMM dual degree and stints at Dow, Eli Lilly, PwC's Strategy&, and Yahoo into the operating room's back office, where he now bets that real-time, AI-driven data can make surgery run on time. He also co-founded The Par Fund to back underrepresented entrepreneurs.
Manika Doshi
Manika Doshi is the CEO of rePurpose Global, the New York-based plastic action platform that has pulled 100 million pounds of plastic waste out of nature across 11 countries and partnered with 500+ brands. A materials science engineer turned operator, she rose from COO to chief executive in January 2026 as the company pivots toward packaging-compliance software and Extended Producer Responsibility. Her brief: make a tangled, regulation-heavy problem simple enough that brands move from intention to action at scale.
