Before CityPickle…There Were First Gigs

Written by CityPickle | May 5, 2026

We’re excited to share that our Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Mary Cannon, was featured in Where the Boss Got Started, the CEO Diet feature in Bloomberg Businessweek.

Before building CityPickle, Mary’s first role was as a packer for Bekins Moving Co. Long days on the job taught her that work isn’t finished until the team crosses the line together. Once she wrapped her own packing assignments, she jumped in to move boxes alongside everyone else. That early exposure to shared responsibility, attention to detail, and true teamwork has stayed with her and continues to shape how she leads today.

Now that we know where the boss got started, naturally, we had to ask… what were the rest of us doing before this?
