Award: Market Leadership

In 2015, McKenzie Bauer and her husband, Colby, founded Thread Wallets—a business that sells carry accessories both online and in retail locations throughout the USA. Based in Provo, Utah, Thread’s goal is to empower individuals to 'carry on' through both the products they sell and the lifestyle they promote. 

Since the early days, McKenzie has gravitated toward the marketing aspects of the business and ran as the CMO until the spring of 2021. In the years that McKenzie was CMO, Thread was ranked one of the fastest growing companies in Utah and appeared twice on the Inc. 500.

In addition to her responsibilities at Thread, McKenzie is a fearless advocate for women's equality and bettering the lives of minority individuals around the state of Utah.
