It’s International Women’s Day and what a wonderful day to celebrate. In college I double majored in Communications and Women’s Studies. The confidence behind starting my own company was in part due to the courses I took in college that profiled determined, strong and successful women. It’s such a pleasure getting to work with so many women on a daily basis, coworkers and clients, that have the same qualities of the women my college courses profiled. Throughout my 6 years at Gossip Genie, I have worked with many different female owned businesses and it’s so rewarding to watch their businesses flourish. Here are 3 Gossip Genie clients that are female rockstars:
Lyndsay Markley – The Law Office of Lyndsay Markley
Chicago-based attorney, Lyndsay Markley has dedicated her legal practice to fighting on behalf of persons who suffered injuries or death as the result of the wrongful or careless conduct of others. Her 2015 accolades include 10 Best Under 40 status from the American Institute of Personal Injury Attorneys, Premier 100 Trial Attorney status from the American Academy of Trial Attorneys and Illinois’ Rising Star status from Super Lawyers
Coco Meers was a top marketer for L’Oreal working out of New York and Paris. As such, she spent a lot of time in airports. During a flight delay on a work trip, Coco was frustrated when she couldn’t use her downtime for an eyebrow wax. This sparked the idea for PrettyQuick, a beauty concierge app that makes finding and booking beauty appointments easy for women on-the-go. Since 2012, the Chicago-based service has expanded to five more cities and this year, was acquired by Groupon.Mary Swabb – Eurostyle+
Eurostyle Plus was founded by worldly traveler Mary Swaab, who also happens to be a born fashionista. Before bringing Eurostyle Plus to life, Mary often found herself frustrated with the lack of stylish plus-size clothing. During her travels, Mary discovered that Europe seemed to have more fashionable clothing than the U.S., so she made it her mission to bring it back to the States. It’s her personal belief that everyone should look fabulous no matter what size they are!
