Amy Errett might be a natural leader, and an expert team-builder–but she wasn't always a founder. She spent her early career in banking and investment companies, before turning to venture capital. But once she was at the table with startup founders, making decisions on who deserved funding infusions…she realized she wanted to be not in her seat…but rather, the CEO's seat. She founded Madison Reed in 2013 out of San Francisco as a hair-color subscription brand. She's grown it–even as the pandemic shut down 12 beauty bars she'd opened across the country–to a company that has raised more than $220 million, in part from Jay-Z's Marcy Ventures. Now, she has her sights set on opening 20 more stores in 2022, and hiring up to 800 people. Amy spoke to host Christine Lagorio-Chafkin about her rich career and her thoughts on leading growing organizations through big changes–including navigating the unknown, seeing around corners, and helping large teams make dramatic shifts.

Noticing that women only had two options when coloring their hair - Purchase a low-quality, cheap box from a drugstore or go to an expensive salon, Amy aimed to create an innovative option. But where Amy is truly innovating is in the way she leads her company. With the mantra that employees can bring their whole selves to work and a policy of openness and sharing where the entire company has lunch with Amy and coffee with Amy weekly, she's building a culture that's more like a family than anything else. Not to mention she's paying her colorists as salaried employees who don't have to rent their chairs like the rest of the hair color industry and also receive full benefits. When her stores closed during the pandemic, she continued to pay them, moved them all over to the call center, and taught them new skills. Prior to founding Madison Reed, Amy was a General Partner responsible for the Bay Area office of Maveron; a leading venture capital firm co-founded by former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz - focused on investments in consumer facing companies. Before Maveron, Amy was CEO of Olivia, where she repositioned the travel business as a complete lifestyle company and also where she was delivered her biggest career blow. Amy is the proof that women belong at the top. Amy founded Madison Reed with over 30 years of business and operating expertise as a four-time entrepreneur, venture capitalist and social-mission visionary. In 2015 and 2018, Amy was named one of the "Bay Area's Most Influential Women in Business" by the San Francisco Business Times. She was also a finalist for Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2018 Award in the Northern California region, which she won in 2006 for the consumer category. She was also featured on Fast Company's first ever Queer 50 list of LGBTQ women and nonbinary innovators in business and tech in 2020. In this episode, Amy shares her truths in both her failures and successes.

"At a certain age, every woman colors their hair," said Amy Errett on this week's Glossy Beauty Podcast. As the CEO and founder of the rapidly growing hair-color brand Madison Reed, she would know. Concretely, "every woman" means a market of about 90 million customers coloring their hair "on an average cadence of about seven weeks." Madison Reed first came to market as a DTC brand to be an at-home solution for color, but Errett could not stop before expanding to the salon market, too. The company announced last month that it would begin franchising in order to make its nearly 60 shades available to more consumers across the country. "Our highest penetration just basically follows the U.S. population. Urban metros have the highest population, but we reach out to about a 150-mile radius around any of those cities and suburbs in a big way," said Errett. Errett joined beauty editor Priya Rao to talk about how she's breaking the stigma around coloring at home, how she's catering to a younger customer and what tough words of advice she would give to a competitor.
