About

Juli Reed

MEMBER

Juli is a dynamic, creative, and purpose driven “Jackie of all trades.”

After graduating from Pepperdine University, Juli’s career led her down an unconventional path. From the fashion industry, working in both visual merchandising and accessories design for Levi Strauss, to helping her then mentor launch an accessories and leather goods line in Los Angeles, to leaving the industry entirely to pursue her sense of purpose, empowering women and girls, through her role as Director of Partnerships for the non-profit I AM THAT GIRL. From there, Juli left the non-profit world to submit herself as a candidate to partner with the entrepreneur and well known businessman on CNBC’s The Profit, Marcus Lemonis, through a series called The Partner. Juli won the title of The Partner and a three year contract to work with Marcus to help manage his ever-growing portfolio of small businesses.

She uses her unique skills, knowledge of various industries, strong sense of people, abundant empathy and creative eye as VP of Development to manage numerous projects for the organization.

Juli wholeheartedly believes that one’s passion can become their career and she wakes up thankful every day.
