The Advisory Council members have committed to be advocates and ambassadors for the organization, as well as consult on future plans and programming.
“Look at the list of incredible women on our Advisory Council--It’s a dream team,” said Jill Melchionda, Women in Revenue Board Member and Advisory Council Co-Chair. “We have strategic advisors, C-level and VP-level execs from some of the fastest growing companies, investment firms, and marketing and consulting agencies. These are women that get things done, and have a pulse on market dynamics and what our members need most. All these women have dedicated their extremely valuable time to elevating women in revenue-generating roles. With this infusion of power and dynamism, I’m excited to take Women in Revenue to the next level.”

Women in Revenue will benefit from the expertise of its Advisory Council members to advance the overall mission of supporting and advancing women working in marketing, sales, RevOps, and customer success. Women face a number of challenges when working toward leadership in revenue-generating roles. The WIR 2023 annual report found that one in four women know they are not paid equally to their male counterparts. In addition, 30 percent of women reported lack of training/coaching, lack of mentorship, and equal seat at the table as challenges in their organizations. Council members will advise the organization on initiatives and programs that build toward a world where women in revenue roles are equally represented and have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Jen Dimas, Women in Revenue Board Member and Advisory Council Co-Chair said, “Thank you to all our council members for committing to support, elevate, and inspire more women in revenue roles. Amazing things happen when driven, talented, bottom-line oriented women are fired up about growing their careers and organizations.”
