Jacquelyn Redmond, 39

Calling Jacquelyn Redmond dedicated — as a mom to three energetic kids under 8 years old, a spouse and a business owner — is selling her short. 

This is, after all, a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who once brought her 6-day-old baby to a real estate closing, when she was an attorney in Boston. That is one example of one of Redmond’s defining characteristics: a get-it-done attitude, no matter what’s in front of her. “You have to know your why,” she says, “and then be able to put your all into it.”
