Marcia Gaebel, Corporate Store Director, Cincinnati OH Corporate Market Area
My career experience began as a Project Manager for an international home improvement company; taking home improvement projects from sale to completion, ordering materials, coordinating between Project Managers and sub-contractors, following up with customers, and being the liaison between the stores, company headquarters, customers, suppliers and contractors.  After my experience in corporate America, I started Zebrastripes Productions LLC - a specialty photography company.  Zebrastripes Productions, LLC specializes in Branding, Pet, Glamour Photography, Relationship Photography, Visual Storytelling, Photo Restoration, and VHS Tape-to-Digital Conversion. 
My current role with Evolve is the Corporate Store Director of the Cincinnati Corporate Store. I was promoted from being a Lead Mentor in the fall of 2020 to my new position as CSD. My first introduction to Evolve was when I reluctantly checked out one of their meetings. My prior experiences with networking, and especially networking with women, left me feeling out of place, not quite important enough in the room and not quite the “clique” material.  When I walked into the meeting room, my hostess greeted me and led me to her table. The women at the meeting seemed to genuinely want to get to know me. They appeared “normal”, meaning not pretentious, willing to get to know me and my business. Of course, I joined right away!  As I became more involved I witnessed the principles that I believed in; no cliques and no judgment.  I fell  more and more in love with the organization and Angel’s leadership.  I have grown so much from my initial “wall-flower mentality” to now being very comfortable with leading teams in large-capacity meetings.  I would not have grown to this extent without Evolve.

I am the Owner Lunatic Fringe Salon in Liberty Township, Ohio and a Lead Mentor for the West Chester Group in the Cincinnati Corporate Store. I have been a Member of Evolve since its inception in 2016, and was always so impressed with not only the value of the membership, but also how open and inviting the concept is. From building relationships to the many different facets of meetings that appeal to any successful business woman's needs, it is a community that I really wanted to be a part of. Being a Lead Mentor gives me the opportunity to share my management experience of thirty years with all of the women on a regular basis.

I have 18 years of insurance industry experience with an expertise in a broad range of industry types, focusing on Commercial Real Estate, Breweries, Manufacturing, Non-profits, and the Hospitality industry. 
I joined Evolve in 2018. I am passionate about supporting  women-owned businesses which is one of the reasons I joined Evolve. Continually, I am blown away by the camaraderie I see and experience with the members. I was recently promoted to the Lead Mentor position for the Cincinnati Corporate Store and am loving it. Seeing the relationships grow virtually through the pandemic have just reiterated the need that women have for authentic connection and vulnerability. Evolve provides a place for that and I love being an integral part of facilitating those relationships.

Elina Greiff, Lead Mentor, Columbus OH Market Area
After working in the corporate world for many years in various leadership roles, I discovered my passion for teaching Emotional Intelligence. Starting with teaching Emotional Intelligence to corporate employees, I realized that those concepts apply to parent and family relationships as well. Shortly afterwards, I became a certified parenting and relationship coach so that I can work with families and help them raise emotionally intelligent kids and increase the quality of their own relationships with their partners. 
My certification and training as a Parenting and Relationship Coach helps parents learn how to deepen the connection and reduce conflicts and arguments in their relationships with their kids as well as their partners. My specialty is working with families of preteens and teens as well as supporting parents going through divorce or having difficult co-parenting relationships. 
I co-lead the Dublin Group of the Columbus Corporate Store. I was inspired by the great value Evolve is offering to women in business. I volunteered for the leadership role because I love the women in this organization and the Evolve mission. I also love the extra visibility and leadership opportunities that leading an Evolve group offers.
