The toughest challenges for entrepreneurs have never been addressed ... Until now. Mission-driven business veterans Margot Fraser and Lisa Lorimer present a valuable resource for social entrepreneurs facing the challenges of staying true to their core values while still trying to turn a profit.
Margot Fraser is the founder, former CEO, president and majority shareholder of Birkenstock USA. (She retired from active leadership in 2002.) The company is the sole importer of Birkenstock footwear in the U.S. and sells to more than 3005 retailers, including 200 licensed, privately owned stores.
Lisa Lorimer is the former CEO, President and majority owner of Vermont Bread Company in Brattleboro, VT (sold in 2005). During her 23-year tenure at her company, Vermont Bread was the largest majority woman-owned business in the state and was listed as one of the top ten fastest growing companies in Vermont.
