Cathryn Lavery is a serial entrepreneur and designer. As co-founder and CEO of BestSelf Co., Cathryn took the company from zero to 8-figures in revenue in less than two years. The company, which sells productivity and self improvement products, was recently recognized as the 318th fastest growing private company in America by Inc., achieving 3-year growth of 1,445%. 

While Cathryn has clearly demonstrated top-tier business skills, perhaps more commendable is the commitment to philanthropy built into BestSelf.

Cathryn won Shopify’s Build a Business Competition in 2016 and the Build a BIGGER Business competition in 2017 – making BestSelf Co. the only company to win both awards consecutively. 

Cathryn, an Irish immigrant, has been featured in Fast Company’s 2017 Innovation by Design Awards, as well as multiple publications, including Entrepreneur, MTV, Huffington Post, Forbes, Inc., and more.
