2020 Influential Businesswoman Awards

Acquisition International - 2020 Worldwide Finance Awards 23 ust over a decade ago, Kristin Marquet founded Marquet Media having plied her trade as a marketing manager for a law firm in New Jersey for one year, and then as a consultant in a management consulting company in New York for four years. Both of these roles imparted experience, knowledge, and skills upon Kristin, and gave her the confidence and insight she needed to start her own business. However, perhaps more important than gathering the necessary knowledge to start a business was the fact that Kristin was also able to see how she did not want her company to operate. Bad business practices and processes that didn’t put the client first were things that Kristin leaned to actively avoid.

She has had to be patient, organized, and have thick skin because rejection is inevitable, and she has also had to be smart and strategic, never spending more money than needed to achieve success in the launch of a start-up. Kristin has also endeavoured to support other women who are trying to take the same steps in achieving their own personal success. Alongside her work as part of Marquet Media, Kristin has also launched another media company, FemFounder.co, which aims to give all female entrepreneurs a platform to share their stories. The website also provides all of the tools that female entrepreneurs need to start, scale, and maintain their businesses, and all of the resources are free for those members.
