Young Green EntrepreneurIt's not out of the ordinary for a CEO to ring the opening bell at NASDAQ, but it's noteworthy when the CEO is only 13 years old. The bell ringing occurred on Oct. 16, 2008. Leanna Archer is the CEO — and as the developer of a natural hair care company called Leanna's Hair Inc., she's the youngest CEO ever to have the honor. The story is that she started with a family formula for hair repair at the tender age of 9. Word spread, and soon orders from stores and online customers were pouring in. Then came publicity surrounding Leanna after being sited by Inc. Magazine as one of the 30 coolest entrepreneurs under 30 years of age. Time management must be one of Leanna's strengths, as she's balanced the running of her company, new product development and motivational speaking (regarding going into one's own business) with her studies as an honor student in middle school. And for what are the profits earmarked? Tuition at Harvard.
