In 1998, long before Facebook existed and the year that Amazon.co.uk launched, Penny Power conceived, planned and set up the world's first online business network. Penny is driven by her desire to connect business people for the common good. Under her guidance, Ecademy has grown to over 270,000 members worldwide and continues to grow at a rate of 15,000 new members each month. KNOW ME, LIKE ME, FOLLOW ME sets out Penny's compelling vision of how we should do business.
Penny Power set up Ecademy aged 33, with three young children to look after. Prior to that, Penny was an IT sales and marketing director. Penny is driven by her values of helping others and making each day better for those she comes into contact with. Very much the public face of the network, Penny has an active role in all aspects of the business, including networking events and being in daily contact with the membership.
Thomas Power is Chairman of Ecademy. Thomas is a well-known speaker, writer and networker supreme.
