The concept and philosophy of FeelingBold developed over a 3-year period with the English founder, Claudine O’Leary. As a passionate believer in positive self thought and expression, Claudine traveled the world looking for existing products that reflected her desire for positive impact along with a means of personal self expression.

She sought out communities where she, along with other like-minded women could share, communicate and celebrate their Boldness of Spirit life experiences and general positivity. After exhaustive searching around the globe with few results, and after hundreds of conversations with women who became passionate and excited about the prospect of such a unique offering, Claudine began to lay the foundations for what would become, FeelingBold.

Claudine already benefited from more than 11 years senior international business development experience working for some of the leading US and UK based organizations. To fully complement her extensive experience, skills and contacts base, Claudine partnered with Jean (Gio) Giovetti.

Gio combines a career-long reputation as a highly respected and sought after technical and operational leader. She has spearheaded the successful design, implementation and management of business practices and software for some of the world's leading international technology organizations. She is also founder of the Minnesota based 501c(3) charity, Camp Sunfish, providing outdoor adventure to at-risk children. Gio was awarded the Kare 11 'Eleven Who Care' award in 2003 for her outstanding contribution to deserving children of Minnesota.
