About Alicia Tulsee
Alicia Tulsee is the Founder and CEO of Moxie Scrubs, the first direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand for nurses. Born out of the Harvard Innovation Labs, Moxie Scrubs has become a trusted name in healthcare—merging style, comfort and functionality to serve the unique needs of nurses across the country. Rooted in its mission to enhance, inspire and empower the moxie in every nurse, Moxie continues to expand its mission and vision to support nurses. Building on this commitment, Alicia’s brand is proud to launch Moxie360—an all-in-one workforce development platform powered by AI, positioning Moxie as pioneers in hospital AI adoption.
Answering the call to action from hundreds of thousands of nurses across America: Moxie360 combats provider burnout, reduces nursing turnover, and addresses the organizational fatigue hospital systems continue to face in the wake of the pandemic and the ongoing exodus of nurses from the bedside, ensuring nurses have the resources they need to thrive while strengthening their hospitals’ bottom line. Who would have thought Alicia would have taken “Start here. Go Anywhere” so personally?
BMCC alumni Alicia is a proud Queens, NY native and the daughter of immigrant parents, Alicia brings relentless drive and purpose to Moxie’s mission. Her vision has earned Moxie recognition as one of the “Top 30 Innovative Companies to Watch,” Fast Company’s “Brands That Matter” Award, and Boston Business Journal’s “InnoBLAZER Fire Award” as the top consumer goods company in Boston—solidifying Moxie as a transformative force in healthcare. Not only is Alicia a driving force in advancing the nursing profession, she is also a champion for women and underrepresented founders. As a prominent figure in the Boston/New England startup ecosystem, Alicia is dedicated to fostering innovation, equity, and empowerment for all through entrepreneurship.
