After 13 years of modest but steady growth, my company began to take off, doubling year-over-year revenue and adding new clients in record numbers. This rapid growth earned us a spot on the Inc. 5000 and me the honor of being name to the Impact 50, a ranking of the 50 most influential female leaders of Inc. 5000 companies, as well as numerous top entrepreneur awards and accolades.
