A Message from GLO’s Founders:
Lead and Learn with Excellence and Empathy
Founder and CEO Michelle Poscente is a connector who leads and works from the heart. Her passion and formidable business acumen have proven to be a winning combination. However, she also knows how challenging it can be to start a business with no business school training and no family connections. Michelle knows how vital it is to persevere and innovate. Her experiences equip her to be empathetic to the needs of her peers. With the help of her inspirational leadership partners, she leveraged her deep business experience to launch GLO so business owners can have easy access to all the tools she used to succeed.

At GLO, we offer a wide variety of opportunities for you to learn, shine, and share with our community. We’re excited for your future and look forward to supporting your dreams.
