Making Something Happen are proud to announce that Alexa Owen has joined Making Something Happen as a business board Director and Trustee.
Alexa is MSH’s first business board director from outside Teesside, living in West Yorkshire and working for a well known business in the insurance sector, Broker Network, as sales executive for the network.
Steve Gordon, Founder & CEO of MSH said “I’m so happy that we’ve added Alexa to our business board. I’m honoured that she expressed such interest in what we’re doing and wanted to be involved. We met earlier in the year on business and I happened to be wearing a t-shirt with the logo of our YouTube channel, The Make Yourself Show, and the conversation started from there. It’s mind blowing that we’re going to add Alexa’s drive and enthusiasm to our business board”.
Alexa added “I’m delighted to be joining the business board of MSH and looking forward to being able to pass on my experiences. I’ve worked in the financial services industry, specifically insurance, for 18 years now and it’s a really exciting place to be so I hope to be able to pass on some of my enthusiasm to the next generation. Having a daughter myself, I think it’s great that MSH are looking at strong, female professionals to be part of their organisation and to help the girls realise just what they can achieve”.
Steve concluded “I’m looking forward to Alexa coming up with some awesome ideas on how we can do things, particularly in terms of role models and aspirations for the young girls we work with”.
