Tracey Noonan
Biography
Tracey Noonan and daughter, Dani Vilagie, are the co-founders of Wicked Good Cupcakes, Inc. Their business literally grew from their South Shore home kitchen to a nationally-recognized, multi-million-dollar brand after an appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank and subsequent deal with Shark, Kevin O’Leary.
Now CEO of WGC, Tracey is responsible for new product development as well as collaborating on all social media content, copy writing and initiating co-branding opportunities.
Tracey has also been very involved in mentoring through Babson College’s WIN lab for female MBA candidates in Boston, as well as sharing her story through various public speaking engagements. Along with daughter Dani, she is invested in animal welfare and in supporting our U.S. troops.
Recognized as a semi-finalist in the 2015 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition, Tracey is proud of the success of WGC and most proud of the fact that she has been able to share this journey with her family.
In her off time, Tracey enjoys playing her drums, vocal lessons, and writing screenplays. She has three Boston Terriers and lives at home with husband Scott, her parents Ed and Judy, as well as her in-laws Joyce and Gerry.
Tracey's daughter and co-author of A Wicked Good Idea: Dani “Danger” Vilagie and her mother Tracey Noonan are the co-founders of Wicked Good Cupcakes. Together they have achieved the American Dream with the help of their family, the support of their community and their dedicated staff.
These days, Dani stays very busy as Director of Operations at WGC while also living a full, crazy life with her wicked hot husband Brian, their two cats and two dogs, and a bunch of four-wheelers. When she’s not getting a new tattoo or dying her hair, Vilagie is out and about with mud in her tires or bingeing on Bob’s Burgers.
And yes – Danger is Dani’s legal middle name. She made the addition after she was married.
