Courtney Folk

#277 Courtney Folk is an accomplished business leader and Co-Founder/CEO of Renewal Logistics and Renew, the largest independent apparel disaster restoration services business in the US. With her innovative leadership and business acumen, she saved a significant fashion brand over $12 M in losses and prevented the loss of a valuable relationship worth over $100M per year.

Courtney has expanded Renewal Logistics to offer a fully integrated solution for apparel companies, including value-added services and returns refurbishment. She is a recognized expert in the field and a sought-after speaker at industry events. 

Courtney advises establishing core values for your business or organization and making them a guiding principle in decision-making and hiring processes. She emphasizes the importance of promoting trust and discretionary effort as core values that can help a business grow and succeed. By being transparent about the company culture and expectations from the outset, the speaker believes it is easier to attract and retain the right employees with the same values and work ethic. 

Courtney also emphasizes the importance of having an external lens to show where a company can improve and learn.

Courtney's shout-out was for Esther Kestenbaum, the former president of Ruby Has, who scaled the business from 17 million to 170 million in three years. The speaker finds her an incredible inspiration and advisor, especially as she is working with a company about the same size as the one Esther started with.
