ABOUT LISA MAYER
Lisa Mayer is an entrepreneur, philanthropist and Founder & CEO of My Social Canvas and Boss Beauties. Born and raised in CT on a small family farm, it was there where she first learned about entrepreneurship and the value of hard work.
After working for edtech startups early on in her career, Lisa left the Silicon Valley scene to pursue her passion to help elevate young women through mentorship and social entrepreneurship. In 2012, with this vision she created My Social Canvas.
Lisa’s mission to equip young women with mentorship programs has impacted thousands of high school and college-aged girls all over the world spanning across 15 countries and over 400 educational institutions. Her work has been featured in Forbes, ELLE, on Bloomberg Live, and through Women@Apple a division of Apple’s Diversity Network Association.
In 2021, after spending 10 years helping to educate the next-gen of women and girls, Lisa launched Boss Beauties. The company is an extension of the same passion and goals she has championed for over a decade.
The company’s first initiative tackled the male dominated NFT space and is one of the few female led NFT projects to date.
Boss Beauties’ first NFT collection of 10,000 unique digital portraits capturing independent and diverse women sold out in its first hour becoming the first ever NFT collection to be displayed at the New York Stock Exchange. Reese Witherspoon, Eva Longoria, and Olympian Allyson Felix are among some of the celebrities who own pieces. In addition, Boss Beauties was also featured on the Nasdaq Tower for International Day of the Girl.
A portion of proceeds from NFT sales go back to supporting their work mentoring young women worldwide.
Lisa continues to fight to improve the lives of future generations of women through mentorship activations and collaborations such as Rolling Stone, Neiman Marcus, Hugo Boss, Mattel and more to be announced in 2022.
Lisa currently resides in NYC with her husband and Boss Beauties Co-Founder Anthony and their son Hudson.
