Entrepreneur, leader, CEO, fashion visionary
Katy Messersmith is a visionary, an entrepreneur, and a leader. As the CEO and Founder of Katydid, a multi-million dollar business for the last 15+ years, Katy has expansive experience in procurement, supply chain, design, marketing, sales, and the list goes on. You name it! As a business owner, you wear many hats, and that is an understatement.
Katy Messersmith first arrived on the fashion scene in 2002 quite by accident. While volunteering at a women's prenatal clinic in Africa, her life took a turn - literally, her luggage was lost and she was soon collaborating with local seamstresses.
Fast forward to today, we have a business that leads in trends, designs, market share and continues to spark inspiration in hundreds of thousands of women, everywhere.
