About Beth Anagnos

Beth Anagnos is co-founder and CEO of Mind the Gap, a professional coaching and employment assessment solutions company dedicated to creating positive, lasting change for leaders and organizations.

Prior to co-founding Mind the Gap in 2008, Beth was the owner of MedSource of St. Louis, Inc., an orthopedics specialty products company she founded in 1993. Built from a small distributorship to a powerhouse in the region with more than $10 million in sales, MedSource serves as evidence of the drive, commitment and innovative thinking of its founder.
