Alfred’s Marcela Sapone Named to Crain’s 40 Under 40
Hello Alfred is thrilled to share the news that our co-founder and CEO, Marcela Sapone, has been named by Crain’s New York Business to the 2018 class of its annual 40 Under 40 list.
We’re proud of Marcela for receiving this honor. But we’re particularly proud and honored that the fundamental idea that inspired her and Jess to start the company more than three years ago — that everyone needs and deserves trusted personal help to be their greatest self — has been recognized and validated as a scalable venture by a pillar of NYC’s business and real estate community.
And we’re grateful to be enjoying a lot of that validation lately. After steadily growing beyond Boston and New York to San Francisco through our residential building integrations, we launched in Jersey City’s Journal Squared high-rise and forged a partnership with Related Companies in December that will bring Alfred’s in-home hospitality service to three additional cities and increase our national footprint to more than 10,000 residential units. And after introducing the first in-home commerce platform, enabling retail partners like Diageo and Nestlé to offer exclusive product promotions to Alfred members, Fast Company named us to its annual list of the 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World — including the Top 10 in the Retail category, alongside Amazon and Walmart.
So, from the entire Alfred team, congratulations to Marcela and the 2018 class of 40 Under 40 honorees, thank you to Crain’s New York for the honor, and thank you to everyone who’s continuing to help us prove the scalability of trusted personal help and intuitive, tech-powered hospitality.
