Leadership

The Dang President

The success, vision, and inspiration of Dang Chicks comes from its founder, Stephanie O’Connor. As the original Dang Chick, Stephanie has forged a one-of-a-kind company that encourages creativity from its partners, customers, and employees alike. Her employees are encouraged to take risks, learn from mistakes, “bring the solution” (not just the problem), treat others like they want to be treated, and be confident in themselves because they are “good enough right where they are”. As a result, the company has developed products that are truly inspired by real, everyday women that work hard, play harder and live life to the fullest.

As Stephanie juggles her duties as wife, mother, and business owner, Stephanie never loses sight of her company’s goal which is to create and inspire others to be their own true selves using the company as her platform. Wholeheartedly supporting Stephanie with her vision are her husband and their 2 inspiring children.

“What started out as a fun expression of my personal taste and attitude has turned into something that women have really identified with and have made their own.”- Stephanie

The Dang Model Chick
Sweet. Southern. Beautiful. Dang. Amanda is a true Georgia peach that really is as sweet as she looks. She has quickly become a fan favorite, and really is the face of Dang Chicks.

Of course, she loves running and working out when she is not hanging out with her friends. We love us some Amanda!

“Dang Chicks has been so good to me. It feels wonderful to be part of a company that stands for empowering women and making them all feel pretty, smart, and truly special.”- Amanda

The Dang Numbers Chick
Carol rocks the financials to make sure we don’t confuse our debits with our credits. A breast cancer survivor, she teaches the rest of us to embrace each day as a gift and live without regrets. When she’s not working, Carol loves cooking, scrapbooking, and jet skiing on the lake with her family.

“As a breast cancer survivor I’m very proud to be associated with Dang Chicks and their support of breast cancer awareness.” -Carol

The Dang Operations Chick
Handling Dang Chicks daily business operations is no easy task, but Christina makes it all look like a breeze. The Dang Driven Chick that she is allows Christina to get through the hustle and bustle of managing the Dang Chicks operation center and then going home to enjoy her husband of 12 years and her 2 children, all with a smile on her face. She is focused on making Dang Chicks and her family run like a well oiled machine. Raised in Louisiana, she now enjoys the life she has made in Atlanta with cooking, playing tennis and attending her sons baseball games. And those LSU Tigers, too.

“I love the way Dang Chicks allows women a way to express themselves in a fun, fashion-forward way.”- Christina

The Dang Blogger Chick
Getting the word out there about the Dang Chick Nation is none other than our Dang Creative One, Elise. She helps put our apparel into words for the Dang Chicks online style magazine and social media outlets. A long time lover of writing and fashion, Elise combined two of her passions when joining Dang Chicks in 2010. Her original way of telling a story from a design on a shirt brought in a personal touch, helping to separate Dang Chicks from any other apparel company. After brainstorming all day for Dang Chicks, she raises her 2 kids, loves playing tennis and reading.

“Dang Chicks gives women a fun and spirited outlet to show the world who they are in a positive way. Women are amazing, and Dang Chicks honors and respects them and all that they are.”- Elise

The Dang Sales Chick
A little bit of country, a little bit of rock your world. The tornado known by many as “Lise” can be seen as far west as California all the way to the Mississippi and beyond as she wrangles in new wholesalers who want to carry our line, as well as knocking down obstacles for existing customers who already do. A supermom at home to four great kids, Lise is not accustomed to taking “no” for an answer when it comes to serving the ones she loves. Our kind of Dang Chick!

“If loving you is wrong, then I don’t want to be right!” -Lise

The Dang Picture Chick
When not snapping awesome pictures of the latest Dang Chicks products (sometimes even modeling them too), Mia is photographing her other loves: fashion, jewlry, food, and her greatest love of all…her son James. She enjoys traveling, the beach, and fine wine and cheese. She also loves music from the 70′s and is the worlds biggest Hall and Oates fan. Proof of her retro roots comes from proudly reminding us that she owned a Cher doll when she was ten and loved Donny and Marie! Dang Chicks wouldn’t be the same without our models and the amazing photographs that Mia brings to life for our brand.

“Dang Chicks reminds us that it’s not what happens to us that’s important. it’s how we respond to what happens that defines who we are.” -Mia

The Dang Music Chick

Tonya is a real-live Dang Chick who is also a singer/songwriter in Nashville, TN. Most recently, Tonya’s song, which she co-wrote with Paul Sikes and Trent Jeffcoat, “A Seed”, was cut by Grammy winning country artist Billy Dean.

“Dang Chicks encourages women everywhere to live their dream. I'm living proof of that and am proud to help spread that message.” -Tonya

The Dang Marketer
Where there are websites to build, systems to maintain, and financials to manage, you will find our main man Tim. Tim keeps the company running smoothly and is our go-to-guy on which button not to push. In addition to developing our sales support and logistics systems, Tim contributes his wealth of marketing & entrepreneurial knowledge to help keep the Dang Chicks momentum going strong. When Tim is not in demand at Dang Chicks he spends time with his wife and their 2 boys, playing golf and fishing.

“We love our customers. They rock!” -Tim
