Cindy McLaughlin - Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Style for Hire

With over a decade in the business side of fashion, McLaughlin brings deep industry knowledge and experience to her position. From 1999-2002 she worked in retail technology, and in 2003 co-founded and served as CEO of Abaeté, a NYC-based better apparel brand. She left in 2006 – pregnant – to follow her husband to California and start a family: falling quickly into a stay-at- home-mom style slump. Needing to rediscover her style and sense of self (and to get a job outside the house), she enlisted the help of her friend Stacy London to revitalize her wardrobe. The experience was transformational, and McLaughlin never went back out on the job market. Instead, the duo founded Style for Hire to bring Stacy’s level of service to ‘real’ people nationwide. McLaughlin holds an MBA from MIT/Sloan and a BA from Mt. Holyoke College. Post-college, she served a term in Congo as a water and sanitation volunteer for the Peace Corps.
