Bio: Amanda Kesy has always been someone who sees what’s missing and figures out how to make it better. It’s a quality that’s shaped her life—from her early career in real estate acquisitions, where she navigated high-pressure negotiations and complex deals, to her latest chapter as the founder and CEO of SipFace, the patented wrinkle-free straw that’s redefining an everyday habit.
The idea for SipFace came from a mix of curiosity and care. Amanda noticed how often people talk about beauty routines, skincare, and treatments—but rarely about the small daily habits that can add up over time. Traditional straws, she realized, can contribute to fine lines around the mouth. So she set out to design something better: a straw that blends style, comfort, and beauty benefits in one. The result was SipFace—a product now loved by beauty enthusiasts, wellness advocates, and skincare professionals alike.
Before her leap into product development, Amanda thrived in real estate acquisitions. She learned how to see value where others didn’t, how to negotiate with confidence, and how to build relationships that last. Those same skills—finding opportunities, thinking creatively, and staying persistent—are the backbone of her success as an entrepreneur.
But business for Amanda has never been just about the bottom line. She’s deeply committed to creating opportunities for women and helping them feel empowered, whether that’s through mentorship, collaboration, or simply making a product that helps them feel confident in their own skin. She believes in the ripple effect—that when women support women, it benefits everyone.
Today, Amanda is growing SipFace through retail partnerships, online marketplaces, and brand collaborations. She’s also using the platform to start bigger conversations about beauty, wellness, and making intentional choices in daily life. Her approach is grounded, relatable, and always centered on creating solutions that truly make a difference.
Her story is a reminder that entrepreneurship doesn’t always start with a grand plan—it can begin with noticing something small, deciding it matters, and having the courage to make it better. From real estate boardrooms to beauty product design, Amanda has shown that with vision, persistence, and heart, you can turn an idea into something that inspires and empowers others.
As one of this year’s 40 Under 40 honorees, Amanda represents more than business success—she represents the drive to keep improving, the creativity to see possibilities where others don’t, and the generosity to bring other women along on the journey.
