About

Holly Eve is an entrepreneur, writer, advocate, and international speaker whose story is one of resilience, perseverance, and purpose. She founded Madame Lemy, a clean beauty brand that was featured by Oprah Daily, The Today Show, Condé Nast and carried by major retailers including Macy’s, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters. What began as a kitchen experiment transformed into a brand carried nationwide—an entrepreneurial journey later highlighted in the Harvard Business Review and taught in business schools worldwide.

For the past five years, Holly has been a contributing writer for Forbes, where she shares insights on entrepreneurship and wellbeing with a global audience. Across both her writing and her speaking, she explores the intersection of entrepreneurship and mental health, offering an honest perspective on what it takes to succeed while navigating life’s challenges.

Her own life journey—including surviving trauma, addiction, and a near-fatal accident—has shaped her mission to turn pain into purpose. She uses her platform to help audiences find resilience, courage, and hope in the face of adversity. 

Holly has spoken at institutions like Princeton University and USC, as well as at business development centers across the country. Her keynotes invite leaders, students, and organizations to reimagine success—not just as financial growth, but as sustainable, meaningful living.

With a voice that is both raw and uplifting, Holly leaves audiences with actionable tools, renewed motivation, and a reminder that even in the hardest moments, it is possible to build something extraordinary.
