Stephanie Leffler's successful journey into e-commerce began in college when she started an online business selling sun protection products. To defray the costs of web development and maintenance to run her business, Sunprotected.com, Leffler hired a small software company called MonsterCommerce.

Leffler saw great potential in MonsterCommerce and eventually decided to invest in and join the company. After serving as VP of Sales, Leffler became CEO in September, 2004 and later that year, with business partner Ryan Noble, purchased all shares in the company.

Since Leffler's first involvement, MonsterCommerce has grown from 10 clients to more than 5500, making it the world's second largest e-commerce solutions provider - with more than 125 employees and annual sales exceeding $13 million. Leffler's relentless dedication to software innovation and superior customer service helped to fuel the company's growth and generate a great deal of industry accolades, awards and positive buzz.

MonsterCommerce has been featured on a variety of e-commerce websites, journals and publications, including Entrepreneur.com, eCommerce-guide.com, Network World Press and Information Week.

The company was voted a SIIA "Codie" Award finalist for Best E-Commerce Software, recognized as the Fastest Growing Private Company in St. Louis by St. Louis Business Journal and chosen as one of Greater St. Louis' Top 50 Businesses by St. Louis Commerce Magazine.

Leffler regularly serves as a featured speaker at the popular Search Engine Strategies conferences, as well as the 2005 WebmasterWorld PubCon conference. She was featured in the St. Louis Business Journal's "30 Under 30" profile of young entrepreneurs to watch, and was chosen as a finalist for Best Young Entrepreneur in the 2005 Stevie® Awards for Women Entrepreneurs.

Leffler's latest achievement was successfully spearheading the sale of MonsterCommerce to NetworkSolutions, the nation's original domain registrar, and a leading provider of Internet hosting, design and related services.

Leffler currently serves as President and General Manager of MonsterCommerce, working in concert with Network Solutions to provide the industry's best e-commerce, marketing and design services.
