In this Executive Voices episode, Marie Tillman, founder and CEO of Mac & Mia, a growing startup that sells clothing for kids from newborn to 6 years of age, shares her story. Marie founded Mac & Mia out of her garage in 2014 while on maternity leave from her day job as president of the Pat Tillman Foundation, a non-profit organization named after her first husband that’s awarded more than $14 million in academic scholarships to military veterans and their spouses. In this episode, Marie tells us about why she decided to get into e-commerce, the inspiration behind Mac & Mia, and the parallels she sees in leading a startup venture and the foundation. We recorded this segment on site after taking a tour of Mac & Mia’s headquarters—a warehouse space in downtown Chicago. |
