JULIE SMOLYANSKY, CEO LIFEWAY FOODS
As a kid, Smolyansky served as her parents’ ‘guinea pig,’ tasting new flavors of their company’s kefir yogurt. At 27, she became the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm.
In addition to running a major company, the certified dairy queen also runs marathons and a non-profit organization called Test 400k, which aims to resolve the backlog of 400,000 untested rape kits in the U.S. and end violence against women.”
