Cindy Monroe, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Thirty-One Gifts

To begin Thirty-One, Ms. Monroe and her husband, Scott, borrowed $10,000 from family. The goal was to provide affordable and fashionable products previously available only at exclusive boutiques that closed at 5 p.m.—too early for working women to shop there.

She held the first party, recruited the very first consultant (who is still with the company today) and helped develop the first products. The company’s name comes from the verses of Proverbs 31, which celebrate hard-working women who are compassionate, gracious and inspiring to their families and the people around them. Thirty-One’s foremost purpose is managing and building a business that helps its consultants succeed in theirs.
