Meet Our CEO
Courtney Wright has the equation for success – stay curious, listen to feedback, fail a lot, and make time for friends, and family.
Courtney’s tenacity begins at 4:30AM when she begins to connect the dots. She’s always laser focused on her master plan. The five-decade old business bombshell is New England born, but calls Illinois home after attending Lake Forest College.
She founded CDW Merchants, the leading provider of 3D visual retail displays and e-commerce gift packaging for the nation’s top retailers, including Kate Spade, Sperry’s, and Club Monaco. In 2016, Courtney packaged CDW for the last time, and sold it to a global billion-dollar company.
Free time isn’t her thing … quickly she jumped on an opportunity to buy a company she worked with closely, a vendor to CDW. In 2016 she bought Gemini Builds It (F/K/A Gemini Moulding). Gemini is housed in a 50,000 square-foot manufacturing center in Elgin, but Courtney has her mind set to continue to grow, build, and bring the sales team to Chicago … she’s one woman making manufacturing cool in Chicago.
Wright wants women to know they can have their cake, and eat it too. She has been married to her life, and business partner, Larry, for the past 27 years, and together they have two sons. She prides herself on never missing either of her boys events, and stopping to smell the sweet scent of success.

The fast-paced growth of E-commerce companies means that suppliers need to become an extension of you. At Gemini, we also know that enhancing your client experience is important in deciding who you choose to partner with.
