Hillary Gadsby
Hillary began a speaker series in Los Angeles in 2014 that featured successful women entrepreneurs telling their stories of failures and successes, as well as a space for women to connect with each other and create opportunity. Many success stories were born out of those events, including that of Nicci Levy, Founder of cosmetic micro-treatment enterprise Alchemy 43, who secured her first investor, Toni Ko, founder of NYX cosmetics, when Toni was the featured speaker at the Boss Talks event she attended.
