Beth Trejo is the leader, mentor, torchbearer, innovator, founder and chief executive officer of Chatterkick. As a trailblazing entrepreneur, she loves to take risks, and starting Chatterkick in 2012 was her biggest one yet.

Defying the odds of successful female-founded start-ups, Trejo not only prevailed, she grew her company with a predominantly female staff. She started her social media agency with a lot of goals in mind, like redefining how businesses connect with people and providing a human connection in the digital world. But she also had a deliberate goal to advance the role of women in the tech industry and enhance the potential of Siouxland women in order to create real change in the community.

Trejo locally mentors women and non-profits because she believes that high tech offers a fulfilling and unique career. She also launched a podcast in order to connect female leaders across the state of Iowa. She incorporates her passion for the digital landscape and social media into nearly every role she has known, from her craft as an entrepreneur and local business advocate.
