The Backstory

Entrepreneurs Leigh Radziwon and Kim Murray, owners of the Portland, CT company, Masksealz, will be honored as the Connecticut Women’s Business Development Council’s Client of the Year on October 30, 2020. The businesswomen also own sister company, StickFX making silicone self-sticking, strapless masks for the Halloween and party industry. The well-deserved honor comes to the duo after quickly transitioning their resources for their company StickFX to create self-sticking, strapless face masks in response to the COVID-19 mask shortage and starting the Masksealz brand. “We pivoted from being the costume experts to the PPE people. We never thought we’d find ourselves in this arena, but we’re glad we did.” -Leigh Radziwon, Owner

 

How Women's Business Development Council Helped

Their ability to adapt and move forward rapidly embodies the culture of female entrepreneurs in the WBDC community, where Leigh and Kim met and became business partners. Their success did not come without struggles, from securing supply chains for quality PPE materials when items were most scarce and advertising for a new product when advertisements for such products were restricted. But the working women attribute their other titles, girl moms, to being master multitaskers, problem solvers, and creative thinkers. “We want to make our daughters and ourselves proud so we are driven for success more than most,” said owner Kim Murray. The owners have advice for other aspiring business owners that exemplifies their swift action that opened new opportunities for them in 2020, “Jump in, make mistakes, and be prepared to pivot with the flow.”
