evolveHerDirector of Business Development
Feb. 2018 - Jun. 2019Greater Chicago AreaEvolveHer is a creative work & event space evolving the way women connect, cultivate and collaborate. As the first employee, I worked alongside the Founder to design and build the memberships/community structure and employee handbook. I helped guide & lead the implementation of a new CRM system to create the backbone of our sales process, developed the overarching social media strategy including the growth of 350 to over 10k Instagram followers, and led the internship development and training
process. I was in charge of establishing a welcoming, attentive and supportive event space for guest and members. In the first 10 months, we grew to over 120 new members and established long term partnerships with national brands including Michelle Watches, Dove, Bumble Bizz, and Live Nation. I am passionate about connecting communities and implementing concepts that brought together members, partners and the broader community of women we empowered. Throughout 2018, I assisted in planning and running over 350 events. Working with companies including Forbes, Michelle Watches, Network to Networth, and Mind Body Green, my detail-oriented personality combined with a patient demeanor enabled successful outcomes in high-intensity, high-pressure situations. In February of 2019, I assisted in the acquisition transformation of Chicago Women Magazine to THE GLU, a national digital platform. Focusing on the reprogram of content into a new web platform, I supported our growing editorial team in a successful launch and establish female-led coworking alliances around the U.S.
