A proven industry force and frequent speaker, Lynne captured the attention of the advertising industry when she purchased Fame from its global holding company in 2015 — and then again when she joined forces with broadhead in 2022. In 2016, she founded Lead Like a Mother, a business management philosophy and advice forum that draws parallels from the triumphs of nurturing children to the competencies required to run a business. Lynne is an AdFed Silver recipient, Effie winner, member of The Hub Braintrust, honorary AdFed Board member, Retail Expert on the Small Business Revolution documentary, and former VP of the Twin Cities Retail Design Institute.
