Annie Milroy Price

Annie serves as the founder, lead facilitator, consultant & primary writer for Birds Eye. She was born in Mansa, Zambia and has called Western North Carolina home for over 25 years. Her international experience and UNC-Chapel Hill Cultural Anthropology background help inform the way she views and assists small businesses and organizations: each possessing the ability to chart its own course and establish and maintain an identity and culture of its own. For more than two decades she has been working simultaneously in the for-profit and non-profit sectors. She believes that successful ventures require observation and participation in art, science, and math and she works within each of these areas with her clients and her own businesses.

Annie is both vision-oriented and action-committed, and her style has been described as being simultaneously grounding and launching. She is complex-thinking while always working to create relevancy and retention for clients.  The perspective she lends takes into account impact on both the local and the global community.

Since 2006, Annie has had the honor of working directly with over 1200 aspiring and existing entrepreneurs and business teams as they develop plans and implement them. She lives for the entrepreneurial journey and is deeply committed to Birds Eye’s mission: To generate success and support along the journeys of entrepreneurs and leaders. Everyday.
