Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week I have the pleasure of chatting with Lizzy Klein, a proven startup leader with a talent for scaling early-stage businesses.
Through 3 IPOs and 3 acquisitions, Lizzy’s been recognized for creating >$300mm in equity value through strategic product development, as well as for generating revenue and building high-performing and diverse teams.
At just shy of 50 years young, she founded and launched her second start-up mazi + zo, a fine jewelry company for customers who value high-quality pieces, elevated design, sustainably-sourced materials, and local production.
In this episode, we discuss how:
- Lizzy launched her career in Product Development
- She continues to refresh her career
- The events of 2020 and beyond led Lizzy to tap into social activism by donating proceeds to organizations that align with her values
- She doesn't follow conventional start-up daily hacks, and how she navigates her path to remain wildly successful
