About the Winner

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business or chances of winning.
When I, Tracy Wright, an Ex-Chicago Police Officer and a successful Real Estate Broker in Illinois began to see the real estate market take a nose dive, I decided to come up with a plan B. While viewing an episode of "The Big Idea" show featuring two brothers who were successful entrepreneurs in the apparel industry, I decided to start my very own T-Shirt Company in 2006. Executees was born, which highlights a professional, and high class line of tees. I focused on a niche of t-shirt items made with CRYSTALLIZED™ Swarovski Elements.

The Custom element of our tees makes the possibilities of designs endless, which make Executees a stand out company. Our custom t-shirts are perfect for bridal parties, businesses, non-profit organizations, salons, and schools etc.

I always remember when my first customer purchased a custom t-shirt from my business, and how many compliments and referrals I received from it. I knew I had a hit creation. While bootstrapping my company it has now grown into a worldwide customer base, and is constantly complimented on my fabulous designs, and quality of my t-shirt creations. Executees was invited to participate in the fabulous May 2008 Spring Shopping Event at Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios.

Executees is the also The Exclusive creator of the Limited Edition Oprah 25 T-Shirts in Swarovski, in honor of Oprah to commemorate her 25th season, created for and As Seen On "THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW" Senior Production/Audience Team On Stage At The United Center Farewell Season 25 Taping On MAY 17, 2011.

Executees makes great gifts, for Birthdays and Holidays. Businesses love them as a way to advertise their businesses in an unique and stylish manner.

I am a Mom, an Illinois licensed Real Estate Broker, and an Entrepreneur. I enjoy spending time with my family, and I love the freedom of being a CEO/Owner of my company.

Executees, Inc. is an example of a business that can be created by a determined Mom who has set goals to attain.

Executees is an example to Mom's that you can create a successful business as well.
