Mallory Contois has always considered her career to be a major part of her identity, but as she rose in seniority, she found it difficult to find peers who felt the same way.
Now, she knows over 2,000 women who can relate — and they’re all just a Slack message away.
Contois, 35, is the founder of Old Girls Club, a subscription-based membership community for career-focused women. She runs the group alongside her full-time role as vice president of Maven, an online learning startup.
Old Girls Club started as “something that I really just wanted for myself,” Contois says: a networking community “rooted in the reality of what it’s like to be a working woman in a senior role.”
When Contois founded Old Girls Club in January 2022, she was working a high-pressure job as chief operating officer at a startup in Los Angeles.
