About Lisa Gold
Co-Founder & CEO, LikeWear
Hi, I’m Lisa Gold, CEO and founder of LikeWear. We are the first and only company focused on selling licensed apparel and accessories via the direct sales channel. I have 11 years of experience at being an at-home mom to 3 active kids (2 daughters and one son) and one extremely active yellow lab. Four years ago I added entrepreneur to my descriptor list. I started running a home-based, decorated apparel business - which began as “Good As Gold’s” before evolving into LikeWear. Prior to that I spent 3 years as a cold-calling stockbroker at leading Manhattan based brokerages where I acquired my Series 7 license and opened more than 500 accounts. I began my professional career in advertising account management and spent 4 years working on the Pepsi and Visa accounts at BBDO New York, one of the world’s leading advertising agencies. I went to the University of Florida in Gainesville where I got a great education as a Finance major and partied like a rock star - well, sort of!

Wow! You look fabulous in your picture and your site is terrific! Congratulations on being accepted as a DSA member. I have been a part of the Direct Sales profession for more than 30 years. My book, Makeup Optional: Lessons I Learned Working from Home, is a basic primer for direct salespeople. I’d love to send you a copy if you will send me your address. Many small companies are using is as a tool to help their people get off to a flying start. Here’s to your great success!
Hugs, Lyn
