An innovator and internet pioneer, Hilary taught herself to code and build web sites by trial-and-error, and invented online casting and portfolios, as well as launching the first ever online magazine for women. When Hilary Rowland was 15 years old, she launched two web companies which were the first of their kind (Urbanette Magazine and New Faces®), which are still running and profitable. She's since founded Project Migration, which sells fashion accessories and apparel to raise funds to aid single mothers in poverty. New Faces® (www.newfaces.com) was the first online portfolio site [of any kind] and is still at the top of its game as the premier [and first] online community for models & talent. New Faces is used by top casting agents and industry pros and is the most respected in its sector. See newfaces.com/success Urbanette Magazine (www.urbanette.com) was the first online women's magazine [previously named Hilary Magazine]. In 1995, when Hilary was just 15, she set out to make a magazine that would be a positive influence in young women's lives. The goal: fashion, fun and female empowerment! Hilary is also the founder of a new social enterprise called Project Migration (www.projectmigration.org). She designed a line of fashion apparel and accessories which are sold as a means of fundraising for clean water and life-saving medical supplies. Fun Stuff: Hilary Rowland ranked #1 for women in AOL's "Hottest CEOs" list [Nov 2010] and was separately interviewed by AOL as "America's Sexiest CEO" [April 2010]; Ranked #1 in PopCrunch's "10 Hottest Women CEOs" list [Nov 2010]; Topped Wired magazine's "Sexiest Geeks" list [Jan 2010], The Business Insider's "Sexiest CEOs Alive" list [Aug 2009], and Business Pundit's "10 Hottest Women in Online Business". She was also listed as one of the "Top 10 Beautiful, Hot and Sexy Female Executives to Watch in 2011" by CEOWORLD Magazine. PopCrunch: "Eye-bogglingly hot Hilary gets 5 schwing stars out of 5 for her stunning blond good looks. However, the altruistic entrepreneur is more than just an appealing façade. Aside from being the CEO of her own charitable jewelery company, she also taught herself binary, invented the concept of online portfolios for models, and found some spare time to put together the first ever online magazine for girls. Smart as well as sexy - Hilary's our girl!"

Project Migration® Founder / CEO / Designer http://www.projectmigration.org 
A social enterprise dedicated to bringing much needed water and medical supplies to single mothers and their children in the slums of Africa, through the sale of unique fashion items and accessories. For each Project Migration fashion product sold, one or more struggling single mothers will receive years of clean water along with life-saving medical supplies for her and her children. “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -Margaret Mead In addition, Project Migration will host “Migration Vacations”, which provide a special opportunity to personally hand-deliver medical supplies (supported by the sale of Project Migration products), and educate women on their use, while traveling to multiple locations to visit medical clinics. We will be bringing volunteer doctors who will help single mothers who are pregnant, giving birth or sick.
