Forum for Women Entrepreneurs
Allison Hartsoe is the executive director of the Front Range chapter of the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE). Her first-hand experience in starting and leading a successful international company serves as a great platform for her current position.

As Co-Founder of iSyndicate and leader of the International Team, Allison drove sales and content business development efforts throughout the world. Allison initiated the opening of iSyndicate's first European office in London, and her efforts abroad resulted in a 50-50 joint venture with Bertelsmann - an enterprise that now operates as iSyndicate Europe.

Before taking on iSyndicate's international expansion, Allison led the Sales operations team - a role in which she negotiated sales contracts, syndicated content and launched iSyndicate's first Fortune 1000 customers. Prior to joining iSyndicate, Allison was Director of Corporate Communications at GALT Technologies. Before GALT, she was a freelancer for the Prague Post, and later, she worked at Ketchum Public Relations. Allison holds a bachelor's degree from Ohio Univeristy's E.W. Scripps School of Journalism.

Evangelizing syndication domestically and abroad, Allison has appeared on programs such as CNN Europe, CNBC Europe, NPR's Real Computing, and spoken at Internet Content West, Technologic Partners Internet Conference, Latin Tech 2000 and Internet World 2000. Outside work, Allison is equally determined - she climbed Mt. Kiliminjaro in August 2000, competes in inline speed skating events, and runs.

Founded in 1993, the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) is the premier entrepreneurial organization for women building and leading high-growth technology and life science companies. Our mission is to accelerate women's opportunities to start, build, manage and invest in market-leading companies.
