The Woman Who Empowers U.S. Military Spouses
Descripción del Episodio
When opportunity doesn’t knock, some women build their own door — and that’s exactly what Lauren Wittenberg Weiner did. As a military spouse stationed overseas, Lauren refused to accept the limits placed on her career. Lauren is the author of Unruly, where she reminds women that following the rules doesn’t mean following everyone else. She’s living proof that grit, purpose, and innovation can turn barriers into breakthroughs. She calls herself an “accidental entrepreneur.” Unable to find work, she forged her own path in the male-dominated world of government contracting — and ended up building an empire that empowers military spouses. Lauren founded WWC Global, now one of the largest woman-owned contracting firms in Tampa Bay. Her company made history by landing a $200 million U.S. Special Operations Command award, supporting elite units like the Navy SEALs and Green Berets. Over two decades, she scaled WWC Global to nearly $100 million in annual revenue before selling it in 2022 — all while employing more than 250 military spouses around the world. She also founded In Gear Career, a nonprofit that merged with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program, helping thousands of military spouses sustain meaningful employment through every PCS move. Learn more in this episode of Women Road Warriors with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro.
