CEO Active Founder Victoria Nguyen Shares the Ethos Behind Her Viral Activewear Brand
As a model and social media sensation with more than a million Instagram followers, Victoria Nguyen can truly do it all, but she's also created something very special as the founder of activewear brand CEO Active.
CEO Active is beloved for its versatile pieces that are as fashionable as they are functional, making them perfect for wearing on the go, working out, going out, lounging and everything in between. From their leggings and tights to tops, rompers and more, every piece on offer is comfy and flattering while being as hard-working as the women who wear it. As fans of the brand, we just had to learn more, and Victoria filled us in on her work ethos and what CEO Active is all about in the interview below.

1. Victoria's obsession with style began when she started posting on social media.

2. She considers her style pretty adaptable, given the way she balances her life as a content creator and a brand founder.
"I might start the day in activewear, switch to something casual chic for meetings and end with a fun look for events. I pick up style cues from social media, my own brand vibe and everyday street fashion. I'm big on matching sets—they're effortless, stylish, and just work with everything I do."
-Victoria Nguyen
3. She created CEO Active after seeing a gap in activewear that truly supports busy women's lifestyles.
"I wanted clothes that made you feel strong and stylish, whether you're working out or running errands. What makes us different is our focus on making every woman feel like a boss. Our clothes are comfy, they fit all body types and they're made to last. Plus, it's not just about the clothes; it's about building a community where every woman feels like she belongs and can achieve anything."
