Celebrating Women in Business: The Juno Story
This Women’s History Month, we’re reflecting on the power of women in business and leadership—specifically, the incredible women behind Juno Search Partners, Mikal Harden and Vicki Sack. Their journey is a powerful reminder of how far women have come in the workforce, and the progress still needed.
In an industry that’s often male-dominated, Mikal and Vicki built a company that thrives on collaboration, empathy, and a shared vision for change. As female founders, they’ve seen firsthand the challenges women face in business—from imposter syndrome to breaking through barriers that can hold us back. But their story is a testament to resilience, determination, and the importance of support from one another.
When Mikal and Vicki decided to take the plunge and start Juno, it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. It was the result of months of conversation, shared values, and a vision for a different kind of recruiting firm. They knew that women could—and should—play a leading role in reshaping the industry, and they’ve done just that.
The story of Juno is also about impact. Not just in the way they’ve transformed the recruiting process, but in the way they’ve changed lives. The work they do puts people in roles that shape their futures—roles they might never have had access to otherwise. This kind of impact is what drives women like Mikal and Vicki to keep pushing forward, building businesses that benefit not just themselves, but their communities as well.
For women aspiring to start their own businesses or take on leadership roles, the advice is clear: push past self-doubt, embrace your space at the table, and lift others as you rise.
The road isn’t always easy, but women like Mikal and Vicki are proof that with grit and determination, anything is possible. Watch their full interview to hear more about their journey and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
