Tammy Nguyen
Co-Founder, IvyMay & Co.
San Diego
Tammy is the Co-Founder of IvyMay & Co. Since IvyMay's inception in June of 2020, the company quickly grew to a point where Tammy had to make a choice to either hire help or jump into the business full-time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she took the plunge and left her former corporate career in social media & content for large national retailers to fight for the next phase of IvyMay. Having spent 14 years in retail both on the sales & corporate levels and earning an MBA on a full-ride scholarship from the National Retail Federation in 2015, Tammy is diving head first into her own e-comm retail shop serving San Diego with free local delivery. It has been anything but easy, but when you start a business to call your own, you quickly realize that you will do almost anything to push forward, even if it means uprooting your entire life you've built & starting from scratch.
