I'm a Chicago-based entrepreneur, and my love for connecting people and solving problems led me to found ChoreRelief, a marketplace that transforms the experience property owners have when they need to hire help for maintenance. This venture is an outgrowth of my passion for building powerful and lasting relationships, and it's very rewarding. Typically, hiring someone to help with a property is confusing for landlords and messy or expensive for tradespeople and contractors. We've turned that on its head by making them — the property owner/manager and the repairperson — the stakeholders in the transaction while we facilitate in the background. They control the time and the price, and we provide the network and the infrastructure to connect them. We use artificial intelligence to automate our recruiting process for tradespeople (candidate sourcing, screening, and job matching), and we have thousands of vetted contractors in our system. I am dedicated to partnering with leaders to discover how we can benefit their businesses. If you're interested, I'm open to hearing from you. Since moving to Chicago years ago, I have been involved in the real estate, beauty, and manufacturing industries. Whatever the business sector, I have always been drawn to the concept of a true and open marketplace where both parties have all the control over their outcome of working together. That's what my team and I have built at ChoreRelief, and I'd be proud to tell you more. I have two cats and a dog, and when I'm not taking care of them, I like to read in my free time. If you've read something amazing lately, I'd appreciate your recommendation. To get in touch with me, email: [email protected]
