Zoë Barry, 31
CEO and founder of ZappRx
Interesting antecedents: I was nearly pre-med in college, moonlighted as a veterinarian saving bald eagles one summer in Alaska and later worked in a neuroscience primate-research lab at Harvard.
Her Rx for success: ZappRx is a next-generation prescription platform. Since starting it in 2012, I’ve raised more than $13M in capital and hired a team of 20-plus people.
Fun fact: At Columbia, I was part of the honors thesis seminar and focused my thesis work on whiskey. In fact, all of ZappRx’s technology sprints are named alphabetically after whiskeys. At this point, we’re up to Inchgower.
Date destination: I love strolling through the zoo. I know it may sound strange, but I absolutely love animals and learning all about them. I even have a pet rabbit named Kibbles.
Good deed: Recently, I partnered with Wonderland BookSavers of Connecticut and Reach Out and Read to donate nearly 2,000 books to Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center.
Peak experience: For a few years, I was a ski instructor in Breckenridge, known for my moves on the moguls. These days, I’ve scaled back, but to stay healthy, I run regularly and swear by a nightly glass of Bordeaux.
Best feature: Definitely my unruly mane. I can toss it, shake it, and I’m not afraid to let it go wild.
Celebrity crush: Leonardo DiCaprio…but only when he’s rocking the “Dad Bod.”
Deal breaker: Big egos. Humility is hot.
