Kelly Cutler, Co-Founder and CEO of Marcel Media, has been named the first female President-elect of the Chicago Chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization.
Cutler, who started Marcel Media in 2003 after seeing a “need in the marketplace for search-engine marketing” has built her company into one of the more successful SEM, SEO, and Social Media consultancies in the Chicago area-as well as nationally-with clients such as DePaul University, the University of Southern California, and Hub International.
Although she is the first female to lead the group, Cutler says she feels no added pressure, and instead sees being a woman as “an advantage” in that she will bring Chicago’s EO “a new and different perspective.”
Her involvement in the Entrepreneurs’ Organization stems from her belief that “Entrepreneurs are the pulse of this country,” and joining EO “helps people nurture and grow that spirit.” She has served on the board of the organization for the past two years.
