Ashley Mills

Ashley Mills is a founder, strategist, and lifelong learner with a deep passion for literacy, wellness, and storytelling. She began her career in the entertainment industry as a talent agent at Creative Artists Agency (CAA), where she represented some of the world’s leading voices in media and culture. Drawing on that experience, she went on to co-found obé Fitness, a groundbreaking digital health and wellness platform on a mission to empower women to discover the joys of daily movement. As Co-CEO, Ashley scaled obé into a category-defining brand, forging strategic partnerships with companies like Disney, American Express and Samsung. Today, Ashley is focused on the literacy crisis in America, particularly how neurodivergent children and adults are underserved by traditional systems. Drawing from her own lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia, she’s building tools and narratives that demystify how we learn to read—bridging cognitive science, creativity, and technology to ensure literacy is accessible, achievable, and empowering for all.
