MUSE
Haley Flippo
Haley Flippo is the Founder and CEO of muse, an AI-powered shopping discovery and commerce platform closing the gap between inspiration and purchase. A fashion designer and repeat entrepreneur, Haley previously built, scaled, and sold a branding company serving national brands—taking the business from concept through growth and exit. Her career spans consumer taste, product discovery, brand strategy, sales, and go-to-market execution, giving her firsthand understanding of both how people decide what they love and how brands work to reach them. She is now applying that experience to build muse into the intelligence layer connecting discovery, personalization, and commerce.
