Description
Vanessa Iarocci is the CEO of McCarthy Uniforms, a company that employs over 300 people, with another 200 seasonal youth staff; working out of 12 locations in southern Ontario.  The 65-year-old company had become insolvent a decade after the founders sold it off, so they bought it back.  A lot of work was needed to restore McCarthy Uniforms to its former glory, and that’s where Vanessa came in. On this episode of Run It Like a Girl, Vanessa talks to us about resilience, and the added challenges of having no real job description, and having to define her role as she went. Vanessa also shares her views on leadership and what being a leader means to her.
