Lisa Bradley, a trailblazing entrepreneur and staunch advocate for military spouses, co-founded R. Riveter with a vision that transcends business success. Her journey epitomizes resilience, determination, and a profound commitment to service.
Under her leadership, the brand has evolved from a small startup into a nationally recognized company that provides mobile, flexible income opportunities for military spouses — through assembly work, entrepreneurship grants, and community empowerment.
Lisa has represented R. Riveter on national platforms, from Shark Tank to Good Morning America, championing employment opportunities for military spouses and shedding light on the challenges faced by working mothers. Her leadership has been recognized widely: she was named one of the 25 individuals reshaping the future of retail by the National Retail Federation and honored as one of Central Ohio’s remarkable women in 2023.
Today, R. Riveter’s handbags and accessories — American assembled and often crafted from upcycled military materials — fuse fashion with purpose. Every bag tells the story of resilience and community, carrying forward Lisa’s unwavering belief that business can be a powerful force for good.
