Ann McFerran, CEO and founder of Glamnetic, did not plan to become an entrepreneur. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, McFerran immigrated to America at 7 years old with her single mother, and went on to graduate with a degree in psychobiology from UCLA.

While growing up, she looked toward makeup as a creative outlet, which made her feel beautiful and confident. McFerran noticed how lashes especially transformed her face, but she was not a fan of the typical glue application, which can be messy and irritating to the eyes. After a year of research into better and safer solutions, in 2019 she founded Glamnetic, which makes and sells fake lashes that adhere to a customer's existing lashes using six magnets. Her passion has paid off with $50 million in sales in 2020 alone and Glamnetic products stocked in more than 1,000 Ulta locations.
