Monica Norder

Monica's roots are in a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Shortly after college, Monica moved on a whim to the Bay Area and landed a job on Apple's marketing team, where she had the opportunity to work on launching new products globally during tumultuous times. The entire experience netted incredible learnings which she parlayed into a successful marketing consulting business, working with other high-tech clients such as Adobe, Salesforce, Intuit, and others.

Today the entrepreneur bug has fully bitten and Monica is the co-founder of a new platform called Trumee, a storytelling, video-based alternative to LinkedIn for the younger workforce. Though the new company is in its very early stages, Monica is eager to connect with the HCC community to glean insights into the start-up journey.

In her spare time, Monica enjoys travel, making memories with her daughter and son, and adventures with her chocolate lab, Roxy. She's an avid foodie who enjoys cooking, yoga, farmers' markets, and paddle boarding.
