  This April, Connected Women celebrates its third year anniversary since founding ConnectedWomen.com. This social impact tech startup has grown from a team of 4 to a team of 23 members, all working together in a remote work environment. Some of the team members shared some of their stories on how working at Connected Women has made an impact on their lives as women. 

  I was livid when the Luzon-wide lockdown in the Philippines was announced. I thought – what about work, my yoga classes, trips to the mall, and my freedom of movement?

  Connected Women launched its executive virtual assistant training program in July 2019. Unlike most virtual assistant workshops out there, ELEVATE aims to help a particular group of women from its community and beyond - these are the women who have had considerable professional experience in the corporate world and are thinking of making the jump to the world of online remote work.
