Jill Simonds
40 Under Forty - 2025 Honoree
Founder & CEO
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would that be?
I would tell my younger self that clarity and freedom come from building the right systems, surrounding yourself with the right people, and letting go of what doesn’t align with your bigger vision.
Who do you count as your greatest mentor(s) that have helped you succeed in your personal and professional life?
Entrepreneurial Peers: Fellow founders and fractional executives who normalized the ups and downs of entrepreneurship and reinforced the importance of building a business aligned with my core values and life goals.
Where do you see yourself and what will you be doing with your life after 40?
After 40, I see myself leading with more freedom, impact, and legacy than ever before. I’ll have built a business and frameworks that scale far beyond me, creating real impact for founders without the chaos that often comes with growth. My role will shift to visionary leadership, writing, speaking, and mentoring other entrepreneurs, especially women founders, while investing in businesses and causes I believe in. I want to spend more time with the people I love and adore: traveling, exploring, and enjoying the life we’ve built as Ohana (family) knowing the systems and teams I’ve put in place allow everything to run smoothly without me at the center.
