Leading the Way: Women-Led Brands Making Waves in Wellness and Outdoors

In the realm of sports, wellness, and the great outdoors, women are not just participating; they're leading the charge. KT Tape, with our CEO Jessica Klodnicki at the helm, proudly joins other women-led brands celebrating Women-Led Wednesday.  Let's dive into the stories of some remarkable brands participating in Women-Led Wednesday, each leaving an indelible mark on their respective industries.

Jessica Klodnicki and KT Tape's Vision:
As the CEO of KT Tape, Jessica Klodnicki champions both innovation and inclusivity.

“I appreciate that Women Led Wednesday helps cast a spotlight on underrepresented female leaders. It serves as an excellent avenue to communicate with consumers seeking to support women-led brands. More importantly, it provides a platform to showcase some incredible role models for future female leaders."

At KT Tape, this commitment extends beyond creating top-notch products; it's about fostering a community that celebrates diversity and leadership in the the way we work each day and contribute to our local Utah community where our offices are located.
