Veronica McGibney.
Veronica McGibney is the founder and editor-in-chief of LeadHer Magazine, a bold new quarterly publication spotlighting women founders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who are tired of the highlight reel and ready to share the real, unedited side of building a business.
A scrappy, resourceful professional and a self-proclaimed enthusiast of coffee, wine, and craft beer, she finds just as much joy in a cozy hoodie as she does in building something meaningful from the ground up.
Veronica thrives in a world of creativity and genuine connection. An entrepreneur at her core, she has spent over 20 years experimenting with business ventures and creative pursuits, navigating both wins and setbacks that ultimately shaped her perspective on what it truly takes to build something from nothing. She holds a degree in Fashion Merchandising, has worked internationally as a merchandise buyer, and has built a career that spans branding, sales, and storytelling.
Through LeadHer Magazine, she is creating a platform that gives women not just visibility, but credibility, where stories go beyond surface-level success and into the messy, meaningful middle that so often gets overlooked.
Whether she’s sitting by a cozy fire with a glass of wine, wrapped in her favorite hoodie, or brainstorming creative solutions, Veronica is driven by the desire to think differently, build authentically, and connect on a deeper level.
As a wife, a mom of three energetic kids, and two lovable dogs, she balances ambition with humor, embracing the chaos while continuing to evolve, learn, and build with intention.
