Lizanne Falsetto Visionary Entrepreneur, Founder/CEO of thinkThin®, CEO Pink Talented Angels & LF Advisory, Global Wellness Expert

Over her 20+ years in the heath & natural food industry, Lizanne has been both a panel member and moderator at countless events, conferences and trade shows. She is a gifted speaker and a passionate advocate for living a healthy balanced life and supporting other entrepreneurs.

Lizanne navigated the complexities of the retail journey on-the-fly, learning how to manage buyers, formulators, co-packers, gender-bias and consumer demands all while posting double-digit year-over-year growth. She can speak to today’s evolving retail landscape, and how the rise of Amazon, non-GMO foods and farm-to-table concepts are affecting the next wave of startups and entrepreneurs

Increasingly more business leaders are seeking to boost their stamina, brain power, and find the proper work/life balance in their lives. Digital devices were intended to significantly impact the amount of down time we had, but the opposite happened. All work, and no rest causes stress which breaks down the body in countless ways - everything is affected: blood, gut, brain, muscles, skin, hair and more. Lizanne identifies the resources - health and wellness trends, emerging technologies, and natural product innovations - to empower us to live longer, healthier, happier lives.

Starting and building a business can be a rough-and-tumble experience, but the highly competitive, male-dominated food industry is among the most challenging. Lizanne provides critical insight,support, and industry connections to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs and their brands in the food, nutrition, and natural products categories. From modeling to founding thinkThin®, now her third act is focused around giving back and building a global community of female business leaders who are helping nascent entrepreneurs - and one another thrive.

Nurturing a strong female community will help reduce stress, provide accountability and help you live longer. It is in our nature to nurture

Health & wellness pioneer Lizanne Falsetto’s personal philosophy is simple: Self-love, eating well, and using natural products are the foundations for living a vibrant healthy life. Lizanne shares insights on her journey as wellness pioneer and looks to clues from the past - examining ancient foods & herbal remedies - and the limitless potential of food as medicine and our keys to a long and healthy future

When Lizanne listens to her intuition success has always followed. Early on her inner voice told her to forgo a college basketball scholarship in favor of an overseas modeling contract that provided the opportunity to live in Japan, Australia, Italy, France and New York working with top designers like Giorgio Armani,Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan. While living in Asia, her hectic schedule helped identify a gap in the nutrition bar industry and her gut literally pushed to found the global lifestyle brand thinkThin® - which she sold to Glanbia in late 2015.

A firm believer in the power of intuition, Lizanne helps identify techniques and tips so that entrepreneurs can effectively tap into and utilize the power that lies within us all.

Starting a business out of a personal need is the most authentic way to establish a global brand.  While modeling internationally, Lizanne identified a gap in the food industry and started developing a healthy on-the-go snack in her kitchen by adapting her Grandmother’s cookie recipes which ended up revolutionizing the nutrition bar industry. The thinkThin® founder’s story and selling her brand to a public company for $217M will inspire and motivate.
