Haley Pavone states in her LinkedIn Profile: Haley Pavone (Founder & CEO at Pashion Footwear) is an entrepreneur whose passion for innovation led her to create a massively disruptive, tech-enabled category in the $165B women’s footwear market – fully convertible shoes. She has invented, developed, and brought to production what was once thought to be an “impossible” concept…and she’s done it all with no background in footwear.

Pavone founded the company as a junior in college and in the 8 years since she has developed her product’s novel technology, secured utility IP protection in 30 countries, sourced & trained suppliers on a completely new production method, executed scaled production with phenomenal customer satisfaction ratings, built out her team, launched a comprehensive eCommerce business and raised over $4.5 million dollars in seed funding. Hard-working & efficient, Pavone built the company while still graduating on-time with her Business Entrepreneurship degree from California Polytechnic University, SLO.

Pashion Footwear formally launched online in June of 2019. Since launching, Pavone has managed to lead her team to greatness in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic – posting 450% year over year growth in 2021, first monthly profits in 2022, and annual profits in 2023 at a compelling 9% EBITDA. Her ability to develop fully organic growth marketing strategies in tandem with large-scale operating efficiencies has been essential to the brand achieving scaled profits at record speed for the CPG fashion space.
