#25 Sharelle Klaus

Sharelle Klaus founded DRY Soda Co. in 2005 from her kitchen, noting she’s had an entrepreneurial curiosity from the time she was little. While nursing her fourth child, she was frustrated that there wasn’t a sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage that wasn’t overly sweet or made with artificial flavors, so she decided to create her own. DRY is now in over 9,000 stores and is one of the fastest-growing natural sparking beverage brands in the nation. In addition to her speaking about her experience as a female entrepreneur, Sharelle shares her belief that women should be able to go on and off the working train throughout their lives. She credits learning many skills like time management, multi-tasking and negotiation to her time as a stay at home mom. You’ll also hear about how she’s traveling the world in her Airstream, her involvement with the Aliados Foundation and how her kids are her greatest accomplishment and helping her be more present.
