Born in New Orleans and currently residing in Newport Beach, California, Ashley Rose is a co-founder of Volée, a sports luxe premium athletic lifestyle collection designed for the court, the country club or everyday! Rose pursued her academic interests at the University of Georgia, where she double-majored in Advertising and Sociology, setting the stage for her impressive career.

Rose spent 17 years in medical device sales, most notably with Medtronic as a National Clinical Trainer and Area Sales Manager. Her accolades include Rookie of the Year, multiple quota buster awards, and peak performer recognitions. 

Growing up in New Orleans, Ashley played USTA Junior Tennis, traveling to compete in tournaments throughout the South. Competing at a high level in tennis taught her valuable life lessons of resilience, discipline, and the importance of strategic thinking—skills she continues to apply in her professional and personal life. Her intrigue with pickleball began with a few lessons alongside good friends, sparking a newfound passion for the sport…and eventually a business together! Now she enjoys introducing her kids to pickleball and tennis.

She is thrilled to combine her creativity and style with her passion for sports through her venture at Volée. She plays a crucial role in strategic partnerships, collaborations, product design and development. For her, it’s a dream come true to merge her interests in fashion and sports, and to work alongside incredible women she calls friends.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Ashley is dedicated to giving back to the community and cherishes family time with her husband of 10 years, their three children, and their labradoodle. The family enjoys weekends filled with golf, tennis, pickleball, and family trips.

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Kristin Leffel now calls Newport Beach, California home. After graduating from Loyola University of Chicago with a BA in Marketing, she began her professional journey at Morgan Stanley. Realizing corporate finance wasn't her calling, she boldly moved to Los Angeles, knowing only two people, to pursue her dream in the Entertainment industry. 

In LA, Leffel’s career flourished as a model and actress, sharing the screen with Hollywood’s elite like George Clooney, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Modeling for major brands, and seeing how campaigns were launched, her experiences in the entertainment industry honed her keen eye for style and fashion, which she now brings to her role at her sports luxe company called Volée: a premium athletic lifestyle collection featuring fashion-forward designs created by women for women. At Volée, she leverages her marketing expertise and fashion insights to help drive the brand's success.

Leffel thrives on connecting with people from all walks of life. Her passion for court sports, particularly pickleball, has enabled her to form multigenerational bonds with people in her community, leading to lifelong friendships both on and off the court. She embraces life to its fullest, nurturing relationships, excelling in her career, and contributing actively to her community. 

Passionate about giving back, Leffel finds great joy in supporting local charities such as Orangewood, Project Access, and Miracles for Kids. Helping children and families in need deeply resonates with her, and she is dedicated to making a positive impact in their lives by offering her time volunteering and being of service. 

Married to her husband Brent for ten years, Kristin is a proud mother of two children, aged 5 and 8. Brent is a successful entrepreneur and serves as her inspiration and mentor. The family enjoys outdoor activities like skiing or hiking and as hands-on parents they both are active participants in their children's sports, cheering and coaching from the sidelines.

Co-founding Volée has been an incredible journey for Leffel. Working with like-minded women and creating a brand perfect for the court, the country club, or everyday life makes her feel blessed and grateful every day! Building a business together with her dear friends, co-founders Ashley Rose and Kasey Martin has inspired Leffel to leave a mark on the industry and form a community of women supporting women. As busy moms and entrepreneurs, their shared passion and vision have ignited the growth of Volée, making it a testament to their dedication and the power of collective effort.
