mallory contois — Co-Founder
👋 I’m a portfolio career operator, a bootstrapped founder, and a startup growth leader. Across roles in growth, marketing, community, product, and operations, I’ve spent 15+ years helping teams design better systems, scale what lands, and make the internet a more human place to learn and work. Currently: • VP Growth at Maven, building the infrastructure for modern career education • Founder of The Old Girls Club, a global community for ambitious women • Writer, advisor, & investor across projects that catch my attention & create positive impact I care about the mechanics behind how people work: incentives, behavior, belief systems, and the structures that quietly shape careers. My work lives at the intersection of business, learning, and internet culture, and I like translating that complexity into things people can actually use. If you’re building something ambitious (and a little weird), I probably want to hear about it.
