With the goal of supporting women in their career journeys, Cate Luzio founded Luminary, a professional education and networking platform.
Luminary founder Cate Luzio took a chance in 2018 to prioritize career development for women. Her vision was simple: create a physical space that unequivocally supports ambitious, motivated women, giving them unique resources and opportunities through networking. She named the concept Luminary as a nod to her goal of empowering members to be role models and influencers in their careers and communities.
When COVID-19 hit in early 2020, Cate pivoted her business model. Virtual events became the focus—they could provide relevant content that brought members together without risking anyone’s health. Instead of focusing on how many people she could encourage to log on, she prioritized the quality of the event and the impact it had on attendees to measure success.
