Meet Jamie Peltz, a visionary problem solver who turns everyday challenges into innovative solutions. When life handed her an unexpected curveball with unemployment, Jamie saw it as the perfect chance to dive into her true passion—entrepreneurship. But she wasn't just interested in building a business; she wanted to create a platform where others could thrive alongside her.

Driven by this mission, Jamie not only invented and patented groundbreaking products but also created opportunities for others. One of her standout creations, SureSwatch® Temporary Paint Swatches, was born out of her frustration with the traditional, paint selection process. Struggling to choose the right color for her children's rooms, she had an “aha” moment: what if there was a way to see the paint on a larger scale without committing to it? This led to the development of a paintable clear film with a low-tack adhesive, making the trial process easy and non-committal. Jamie set her sights high and vowed to get SureSwatch on the shelves of The Home Depot—and she did just that, proving that persistence pays off. Today, SureSwatch is available in over 3,000 retail locations, helping millions find their perfect paint color.

Jamie’s inventive streak started with Stain Patch. The concept for Forget Me Spot™ Stain Patch® Spot Remover came to her during her time at home after unemployment. Faced with the never-ending task of doing laundry for a family of five, she realized the need for a product that could tackle stains effortlessly. Enter Forget Me Spot—a patented pretreatment patch that you apply directly to a stain, allowing it to dissolve in the wash. This clever solution simplifies laundry for families everywhere and is now available at Heinen’s.

Jamie is not only an accomplished entrepreneur but also a dedicated advocate for women in business. With a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from The Ohio State University and an MBA from John Carroll University, she is a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program and a current board member of the Northeast Ohio chapter of NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners). Jamie is also a proud wife and mother of three grown children, continually balancing her big dreams with the love and support of her family.
