CINDY MONROE

Cindy Monroe founded Thirty-One Gifts in the basement of her Chattanooga, Tennessee home in 2003. The company grew to be one of the largest direct selling companies in North America, and was named the fastest growing woman-owned company worldwide in 2014.

Today, Cindy is active as the company’s Founder, building relationships with Thirty-One sales consultants and establishing strategic plans to grow and expand the brand.

Cindy’s fierce faith, family focus, and authentic passion for changing lives give her a platform as a champion of female entrepreneurs. Most recently, she authored her own book, More Than a Bag: Celebrating the First 20 Years of the Thirty-One Story. More Than a Bag pulls back the curtain to share a look at how personal values intersect with business to create an impact through both times of whirlwind growth and times of adversity.

She has been recognized through numerous honors and awards, including: Forbes Magazine's Self-Made Women to Watch, Columbus Business First’s 40 under 40 and Fast 50, and was honored twice as one of the Most Influential Women in Direct Selling. Cindy serves on the Board of Directors for the
Direct Selling Association and on the Advisory Board of Nationwide Children’s Hospital of Columbus Foundation.

Cindy’s passion, outside of her career, is her beautiful family—her husband, Scott, and children, Alyx and Evan.
