The pull of Wall Street and the publishing world is what brought Nicki Gilmour to the U.S from Northern Ireland in 2004. But she quickly became sensitized to the frustrations many women in business experience in their careers, including the difficulties some women encounter when trying to get back into their profession after a hiatus.
That led Nicki to form Evolved People Media and launch its flagship website theglasshammer.com 18 months ago. The web site is an online community of professional women—primarily in finance, law and big business—that offers news, advice, jobs and networking opportunities. Its goal is to “inform, inspire, and empower women,” says Nicki. Her site has 30,000 visitors a month, with about 20% of those being international, including many from London and Asia.
Listen to Nicki talk about her online community theglassshammer.com in a recent interview with MyVenturePad.
