Meet the Team
Lori Mitchell, President /CEO
Lori Mitchell is the fiercely entrepreneurial president of Tomboy Tools Canada and has founded one of this country’s most inspiring business success stories.
Lori Mitchell didn’t know it at the time, but the pieces of unfinished baseboard stacked in her family room were the inspiration for the company she owns today. Those pieces of baseboard needed to be cut and nailed into place in the family room – and they’d been sitting in the same spot for three-and-a-half years. Her husband would do it, he assured her. But the months came and went, and still the baseboard was no closer to being cut and nailed into place. Lori came to realize that owning her own hammer – her own set of tools, even – would be a good idea.
A unique business without direct competition in today’s marketplace, Tomboy Tools sells high-quality hand and power tools designed with the ergonomic needs of women in mind.
Lori Mitchell, the founder of Tomboy Tools Canada has been recognized nationwide for her business acumen and entrepreneurial drive and was a finalist for Manitoba’s 2007 Woman Entrepreneur of the Year. Her unique story has rapidly made her a media sensation across Canada. While still in university, she started her first company and by the early 90’s, she had founded Mitchell Consulting Services, specializing in quality and customer service consulting and training.
After a fifteen-year career in the corporate world, Mitchell took a leap of faith in 2004 and founded Tomboy Tools Canada and has not looked back since. A passion for business and a wonderful sense of humour, combined with a personal drive to help women across the country turn the places they live into the places they love, fuels her entrepreneurial spirit.
