ELIASSEN INCLUDED IN LIST OF WOMAN-LED BUSINESSES IN MASSACHUSETTS
WAKEFIELD, MA - According to a major research study recently released by Babson College and The Commonwealth Institute, 53 percent of woman-led businesses in Massachusetts grew over the past two years despite the poor economic climate, with 35 percent experiencing strong growth. Woman-led businesses are an economic engine for Massachusetts, with the top 100 contributing more than $6.5 billion in 2002, and employing more than 32,300 people.
Mona Eliassen, founder of Eliassen Group, Inc., a leader in the IT/software consulting and staffing industry, has been in the top 25 women listed in this research for the past 2 years. Eliassen Group was established in 1989 and employs over 300 people.
The Woman-Led Businesses in Massachusetts: 2002 Results research study was jointly developed by The Center for Women's Leadership at Babson College and The Commonwealth Institute. It identifies the top 100 woman-led businesses in the state and includes data from 225 woman-led organizations.
"Women's success in the business world has been remarkable," said Nan S. Langowitz, Babson College professor and chief researcher and author of the study. "The revenue growth of Massachusetts woman-led businesses has exceeded the national average. Since the study was first conducted in 2000, these CEOs have remained steadfast in addressing the changing economic conditions as well as identifying new markets for their businesses. They remain confident that this strong business growth will continue."
"Many of these businesses have been started from the ground up by women entrepreneurs, who have the vision and management skills to grow their organizations even in difficult times," said Lois E. Silverman, founder of The Commonwealth Institute and, who in 1995 was one of the first women in Massachusetts to take a company public."
About the Study
This is the second study conducted by Babson College and The Commonwealth Institute on woman-led businesses in Massachusetts. Qualified participant companies have a woman chief executive, are headquartered in Massachusetts, and are either independent businesses or legal subsidiaries of larger corporations. Medical, law and banking firms as well as non-profits were not included in the study. The full research report is available from Babson's Center for Women's Leadership and can be downloaded at www.babson.edu/cwl. The study and a complete listing of the Top 100 Woman-led Businesses in Massachusetts is also featured in this month's issue of Women's Business Boston.
