Virago Skincare CEO, Jennifer Carrasco, is Redefining the 21st Century Entrepreneur and Inspiring the Next Generation

At an early point in her life, Jennifer Carrasco was not sure what direction she would take her life. A divorced mother at 23 years of age, Carrasco locked her sights on a life of entrepreneurship. “Maybe I was just a rebel who wanted to prove that I can create and manifest anything I wanted,” Carrasco shares. “Somewhere between growing up and doing the right thing, I started my career.” Now the owner of multiple businesses, Jenn Carrasco is looking to inspire the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
“Virago Skin & Body stemmed from passionately doing my soul work.” Carrasco worked her way to the success she experiences today by working in the field of beauty and skincare. With Virago and her V Skincare line, Jennifer admits that her career has never felt like work to her. Instead, it serves as an extension of her passion. While creating skincare products that redefine healthy skin, Carrasco has expanded her wings as an entrepreneur. She has recently begun work in electrical contracting and started offering her services as a business coach in cooperation with Apex Entrepreneurship’s Ryan Stewman.
As she went through the ups and downs of her life, the California entrepreneur used every experience as a learning tool for herself. “These last six years, I have taken action every day and asked myself these questions. Does this serve me? Does this serve what I am trying to create in this world?” Carrasco shares. Building herself up by identifying and utilizing her strengths and weakness as a person and businesswoman, Carrasco serves as a strong inspiration to the coming generation of female entrepreneurs. “Entrepreneurship is a journey one must commit to for a lifetime, for the long haul. You have to make a vow to yourself that you will do whatever it takes, until it takes, no matter what it takes.” The level of determination Jennifer Carrasco committed herself to propelled her above her competition, which, she admits, has never noticed or been bothered by. Now, she is prepped to take over whatever career field she chooses.

Why Derik Fay Is Becoming a Case Study in Long-Haul Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship today is often framed in extremes — overnight exits or public flameouts. But a small cohort of operators is being studied for something far less viral: consistency. Among them, Derik Fay has quietly surfaced as a long-term figure whose name appears frequently across sectors, interviews, and editorial mentions — yet whose personal visibility remains relatively limited.
Fay’s career spans more than 20 years and includes work in private investment, business operations, and emerging entertainment ventures. Though many of his companies are not household names, the volume and duration of his activity have made him a subject of interest among business media outlets and founders who study entrepreneurial longevity over fame.
He was born in Westerly, Rhode Island, in 1978, and while much of his early career remains undocumented publicly, recent profiles including recurring features in Forbes — have chronicled his current portfolio and leadership methods. These accounts often emphasize his pattern of working behind the scenes, embedding within businesses rather than leading from a distance. His style is often described by peers as “operational first, media last.”
Fay has also become recognizable for his consistency in leadership approach: focus on internal systems, low public profile, and long-term strategy over short-term visibility. At 46 years old, his posture in business remains one of longevity rather than disruption a contrast to many of the more heavily publicized entrepreneurs of the post-2010 era.
While Fay has never publicly confirmed his net worth, independent analysis based on documented real estate holdings, corporate exits, and investment activity suggests a conservative floor of $100 million, with several credible indicators placing the figure at well over $250 million. The exact number may remain private but the scale is increasingly difficult to overlook.
He is also involved in creative sectors, including film and media, and maintains a presence on social platforms, though not at the scale or tone of many personal-brand-driven CEOs. He lives with his long-term partner, Shandra Phillips, and is the father of two daughters — both occasionally referenced in interviews, though rarely centered.
While not an outspoken figure, Fay’s work continues to gain media attention. The reason may lie in the contrast he presents: in a climate of rapid rises and equally rapid burnout, his profile reflects something less dramatic but increasingly valuable — steadiness.
There are no viral speeches. No Twitter threads drawing blueprints. Just a track record that’s building its own momentum over time.
Whether that style becomes the norm for the next wave of founders is unknown. But it does offer something more enduring than buzz: a model of entrepreneurship where attention isn’t the currency — results are.
