When you’re a solopreneur leading a high-growth business, expanding your team can be an exciting yet challenging endeavor. At a high level, you might be limited by financial, resource, or time constraints that divert your attention away to other critical tasks. But bringing on new team members introduces a whole host of new complexities for your business:

  • How do you find people who align with your vision and values?

  • How do you establish effective communication and collaboration channels to ensure smooth workflow?

  • What is required to build trust in the abilities of new team members, letting go of some control in favor of delegation?

Join us for an empowering discussion in collaboration with the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center as we delve into the essentials of building a thriving team from solopreneurship through the employment of scalable HR structures.

PANELISTS: Tiffany Jones-Lewis & Rachel Pereyra

Tiffany Jones-Lewis

Tiffany Jones-Lewis, a women’s fashion designer exclusively for Tall, was born in Memphis, TN. Her fashion journey begins at the age of 14 when her mother invested in her first sewing machine. Standing 6’1, she became interested in sewing when she found it difficult to shop for clothing items that fit her tall frame.  Focused on everyday wear, she specializes in pants, suit, floor length dresses and jumpsuits for women 5’9” and taller. Her goal has always been to help women feel beautiful day to day without the stress of shopping.

 She joined the military in 2011 and later finished her college journey online. She graduated with her business degree from the University of Memphis in 2016, Fashion Technology in 2021 and later, her master’s in leadership in 2023. She used her skills from the military, college and fashion school to create a business.

She begin the journey of TJL Collection in 2019, a brand named from her Father (Jones) and husband (Lewis) who pushed her to believe that she could start her brand. The brand has become a personal community effort to bring more awareness for lack of inclusion. She believes that Tall women are over looked and underserved in the Fashion Industry and uses her voice to create change.

Outside of fashion, she loves to connect with women through events. She has produced more than 10 fashion shows, hosts numerous networking events and hosts an annual vision board party and Annual Tall Girl Meet Up. She believes that confidence starts from the inside and radiates out. There is power in women coming together.

Tiffany has a natural desire to continue to connect with woman and youth through fashion. She loves to meet people and grow with other creatives. Fashion is a way of life.

You’ll walk away with proven techniques for attracting and retaining a diverse and skilled team that will continue to drive your business forward, as well as the confidence you’ll need as a leader to guide your team through future stages of growth!
