Mom Invented

For many moms, it can feel impossible to find the ideal work-life balance. Full-time corporate jobs can prove too time-consuming and inflexible, yet many moms still want to stay in the workforce.

Allison O'Kelly, founder and CEO of Mom Corps, is doing something about it.

O'Kelly's is an ingenious idea that's also very simple. Mom Corps places professionals -- moms who've left the full-time work force -- in flexible, part-time, project, or contract positions that are challenging, meaningful and financially fulfilling. Her company gives moms the ability to stay in the work force on their own terms - and provides companies access to highly qualified professionals in accounting, marketing, finance, law, human resources, and more - who can add value to their businesses.

O'Kelly came up with the concept based on her own life experience. After having her own children, she found it impossible to balance her career as a CPA with being a mom. She met countless other women in the same predicament - moms who wanted to stay in the workforce but didn't know how to find opportunities that could allow them to have flexibility and "symmetry" in their lives. At the same time, she noticed that corporations were struggling to find high caliber employees.

Today, Mom Corps matches talented professionals with companies who need them. Mom Corps' workforce is a high-level, talented pool of professionals -- 44% have 10 years or more experience in their given field, and 34% have a professional degree. And with large companies like Lending Tree, The Weather Channel, Realestate.com, and KPMG coming to Mom Corps for staffing, it's an ideal match-up.

"Mom Corps helps professionals who are mothers find flexible opportunities where they can earn money, utilize their hard-earned skills, and do something interesting," said CEO Allison O'Kelly. "In turn, we provide companies access to an exclusive, untapped pool of talent."
