Mead, Jessica: - Jessica Mead is the Founder and CEO of Brandlync, a managing partner of Drivonic, and the co-founder of The Epek Companies and Mead Holdings Group. This all has a combined valuation toppling 100 million and a portfolio of angel investments that encompasses more than 20 companies. With offices in California, Washington, Indiana, Arizona, Brazil, the Netherlands, and India, Jessica is a non-traditional wife and mother who runs her business empire pretty much from wherever she chooses. She is seldom seen without her children as she homeschools them full-time: pioneering curriculum that is enviable by both traditional teachers and alternative education experts. She has been featured alongside Richard Branson, Shaquille O'Neil, and in publications like Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Yahoo Finance. Regularly, Jessica is asked to comment on the power of the female investing dollar, public school reform, homeschooling children while advancing one's own career, and how to scale companies from the inside out without giving up control. With two amazing children, a 20-year marriage, a budding business portfolio, and an emerging women's empowerment movement appropriately titled Still Orbiting, Jessica exudes business and life mastery. She resides in Encino, CA.
