Ingrid Sarpy is the Co-Founder & CEO of Lil Leaders, a children’s confidence and lifestyle brand dedicated to inspiring kids to embrace who they are as capable, confident leaders with limitless potential. Through thoughtfully designed products—including backpacks, books, apparel, journals, and accessories—Lil Leaders empowers children to build self-belief, confidence, and imagination in their everyday lives.

Originally from Hinesville (Savannah), Georgia, Ingrid graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. She built a successful 20-year career in the oil and gas industry, where she supported business operations and held roles across Engineering, Maintenance, Reliability, Continuous Improvement, Controls, and DE&I initiatives.

Throughout her corporate career, Ingrid worked with people across a wide range of backgrounds, cultures, functions, and organizational levels—from frontline teams to executive leadership—strengthening her passion for representation, mentorship, and helping others recognize their potential.

Prior to focusing on Lil Leaders full time, Ingrid served as Business Advisor to a Chemical Site Vice President, supporting high-level operational and business initiatives. After two decades in corporate leadership, Ingrid made the decision to step away on her own terms to pursue her passion for building confidence in youth through representation, empowerment, and purpose-driven products designed to help children see themselves as future leaders.

Today, Ingrid combines engineering discipline, leadership experience, and creative vision to grow Lil Leaders into a meaningful brand focused on confidence, representation, and inspiring the next generation.
