Full Bio
Tammy Tibbetts is Co-Founder & CEO of She’s the First, a global nonprofit that teams up with local organizations to make sure girls are educated, respected, and heard. Today, She’s the First supports more than 9,500 girls in 11 countries and 200+ student advocacy chapters.
Tammy doesn’t believe in letting the world define your limits. Though she was voted “Most Shy” in her high school yearbook and felt the pressure of perfectionism for too long, she has become an advocate for blowing up the expectations society places on you and instead fearlessly exploring the potential hidden within.
In her role at She’s the First, Tammy has used that philosophy to become a multi-million dollar fundraising success and a brilliant connector while staying grounded in her life’s mission: unlocking the potential of girls and women. In her first book, Impact: A Step-by-Step Plan to Create the World You Want to Live In, Tammy shares some of her most valuable insights (PublicAffairs, November 2020).
As a first-generation college graduate from The College of New Jersey, Tammy had the idea for She’s the First while she was working at Hearst Magazines, as a pioneering web editor and Seventeen’s first social media editor. She speaks regularly on entrepreneurship, including three TEDx talks. Tammy has been widely recognized for her leadership and global impact by Forbes, Time, and Fast Company, and she has received a DVF Award from Diane von Furstenberg.
Tammy is a proud member of TCNJ’s Board of Trustees. She resides in Brooklyn.
