Prior to starting She Gone, Hilary spent most of her career at a fundamental equity group within Citadel, where she managed a strategy that required frequent travel across the US and Europe.
After leaving the fund, Hilary spent her 1 year non-compete traveling around the world surfing and summiting some of the world's highest mountains. Living out of hotels and AirBnb’s for a full year exacerbated the pain points she experienced as a business traveler and added more to the mix as a leisure traveler, especially around safety.
Coupling her own experiences with the short comings in the hospitality industry and her first-hand view of the rise in female travelers, she started a company that solves for the customer experience of a demographic that has historically been overlooked, but now makes almost 80% of consumer decisions.
