#FollowIzzyWheels - Speaker Announcement. Ailbhe Keane,CEO Izzy Wheels.
Ailbhe and Izzy Keane, Founders of Izzy Wheels
Our second speaker announcement for our NExtGen Female Founders in Focus is Ailbhe Keane CEO of IzzyWheels.
Ailbhe is the Founder and CEO of Izzy Wheels. She originally created the brand as a college project in 2016 when she was in her final year in NCAD. She realized that her sister's wheelchair was the first thing that people noticed about her but it wasn't a reflection of her bubbly personality. Ailbhe created a range of colourful wheel covers for her sister's chair that expressed her individuality and exuberant style. Their motto became 'If you can't stand up, stand out!'
Ailbhe has grown Izzy Wheels into a global brand selling in over 40 countries, has collaborated with 90 designers and famous brands including Hello Kitty and Barbie, has won 15 national awards, created a BBC documentary, and was named on Forbes 30 Under 30.
We can’t wait to hear more about this creative entrepreneur’s journey!
