She came back from maternity leave and was asked to become the Chief Operating Officer for the Tory Burch Foundation.

How’s that for a boost of confidence as a new mom?!

Gabrielle Raymond McGee has worked in professional sports and the fashion industry, and this week we’re chatting about what she’s learned from those industries, how motherhood is a lot like starting a business, and how women need to disrupt the playing field for future generations. She’s wise beyond her years and is absolutely brilliant. I’m honored to know Gabrielle and you’re going to love hearing her down-to-earth and inspiring approach to work and parenting.

The #ToryBurchFellows program is currently accepting applications, and you can learn more about that HERE.
