Aldatz hit the ground running a decade ago with Foot Petals, filling a gap in the market for women’s high-heeled foot support, and hitting the Inc. 500 as one of the “500 fastest growing companies in America.” As a business woman who keeps on her toes, and after selling Foot Petals, Aldatz launched Savvy Travelers with her long time business partner Margie Floris.
