Helen Rankin, CBO & Partner at SwagUp has proven to beat the odds against adversity. Raised by a single mother from Mexico, Helen has shown your upbringing should not define your future and access to success. She is a self-made entrepreneur that started her career in marketing at the early age of 17. Knowing college would be challenging to afford; she taught herself digital marketing and began her career with startups. She worked with top brands generating leads for companies like Time Warner, Comcast, Humana, Home Depot, and more. After several years she decided to branch out on her own and partnered with Michael Martocci with SwagUp, your Swag Management Platform for the Modern Workplace. Shortly after partnering with SwagUp 9 months into the start of the company, they grew the team from 3 employees to 100 (and counting) and have been able to increase revenue to 8 figures in less than two years. From bootstrap to millions, Helen has shown success can happen in non-conventional ways.
