Background

About Erin Vandre

With over a decade of entrepreneurial experience, I have built a career centered around innovation, growth, and community impact. From aesthetics to gourmet baking, I’ve launched and scaled successful businesses driven by a deep passion for creating value, empowering others, and fostering connections. I started my journey in the aesthetics industry, where I combined my love for beauty with strategic leadership to grow operations and expand revenue streams. My expertise in business development, financial management, and team-building led to the successful launch of GLO Bar MedSpa, a business I built from the ground up. By developing scalable systems, implementing targeted service offerings, and cultivating a strong brand presence, I was able to establish GLO Bar as a leading provider in the industry. What I enjoyed most was building a team that thrived on operational excellence and delivering exceptional client experiences. After relocating to Pinehurst to support my husband’s military career, I co-founded Bravory Bakehouse (formerly Kind Cookie Company). Bravory Bakehouse is more than just a business—it’s a mission-driven brand focused on empowering military spouses through employment and entrepreneurial opportunities. Built on values of resilience, kindness, and community, we aim to create a lasting impact by fostering connections and providing high-quality, handcrafted baked goods. At the heart of my work is the belief that business should be a force for good. I am passionate about supporting others, particularly military families, through strategic leadership, community engagement, and purpose-driven growth. As Bravory Bakehouse continues to evolve, I remain committed to empowering, inspiring, and creating meaningful value with every opportunity.
