Miriam Schwab is the Head of WordPress Relations at Elementor and co-founder and former CEO of Strattic. She has an impressive — and extensive — track record and boasts nearly twenty years of experience in the WordPress ecosystem.

In 2006, Miriam founded illuminea and served as CEO for 13 years. She also steered the company through an acquisition that saw it growing into one of Israel's leading WordPress development agencies. On top of heading up a company, she's been the lead organizer for WordCamp Israel five times and has shared her knowledge and experiences at multiple WordCamps.

In 2018, she co-founded Strattic, an end-to-end static and headless hosting and deployment platform for WordPress websites, which was acquired by Elementor in June 2022. The process further solidified Miriam's experience of joining forces. In this episode, we explore Miriam's in-depth understanding of strategic alliances and working with competitors to drive business success for entrepreneurs.
