Tamara's Bio:
Tamara’s life and career have been defined by calculated risks—the risk of moving to a neighborhood in transition, the risks associated with managing major sourcing decisions affecting thousands of people, and the risk of leaving a secure and lucrative career to launch a startup.
Assessing the needs of her city, she decided to fill a gap in shared workspaces available to mid-career professionals. After extensive research and branding processes, 1628 Ltd. came into focus. Combining a high level of service and amenities with an aesthetically inspiring built-environment, 1628 offers culture and community to independent professionals and the professionally independent. In short, 1628 is Curated Coworking.
As a lifelong advocate for supplier diversity, Tamara is particularly proud that as a Women-Owned Business, 1628 can now serve as a diverse supplier to organizations looking for creative spaces for offsite meetings and events. In January 2020, 1628 launched Women Empowered (women-empowered) focusing on women entrepreneurs and business owners. WE’s mission is to fuel women in business by creating a thriving community built on mentorship, professional development, and support available through a centralized physical and digital hub. WE aims to reduce barriers to education, development, and capital to help women in Cincinnati’s business community thrive.
