About Lexx
Lexx Mills doesn’t just talk about change—she lives it.
From teaching elementary school to leading economic development at Johns Hopkins to building a trailblazing beverage brand, Lexx is a master of reinvention. Known for her magnetic energy, humor, and powerful storytelling, she shows audiences that success isn’t about having a perfect plan—it’s about trusting yourself to figure it out along the way.
As the CEO and co-founder of Stursi, a premium mocktail brand shaking up the $3.4B non-alcoholic space, Lexx transitioned from institutional leadership to the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship—not with a roadmap, but with an audacious belief in herself. Before even launching, Stursi pre-sold over 2,000 cans, secured over $60K in non-dilutive funding, and became the Official Non-Alcoholic Cocktail of Chesapeake Arena. As the former Director of Economic Inclusion at Johns Hopkins, she spearheaded initiatives to leverage the institution’s economic power to drive growth, employment, and investment in Baltimore.
She has built a career out of turning uncertainty into opportunity. Now, she helps students, professionals, and entrepreneurs embrace change and step into their next chapter with courage and confidence. Lexx has shared her message with audiences at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business, Maryland Daily Record, and Towson StarTUp Accelerator.
Off stage, you might find her curating the perfect playlist, soaking up girls’ time with her mom and sister, or marveling at how every daring step has paved the way for a life of joy and purpose.
If you’re looking for a speaker who equips your audience to navigate uncertainty and take bold action, Lexx Mills will leave them inspired and ready to act.
