COMMUNITY DIRECTOR OF HERA HUB CARLSBAD
Tamina Madsen
Tamina Madsen was born and raised in Southern California. She attended UC Berkeley where she received her BA in Rhetoric and minored in Korean Studies. She received her JD from UCLA School of Law and practiced complex civil litigation pursuing consumer protection-based class actions against corporations for violations of false advertising and breach of warranty laws. She then took a break from practicing law to explore her entrepreneurial and creative side, and launched and operated her own business sourcing officially licensed gameday apparel for women.
Tamina is a Los Angeles native who relocated to Carlsbad in 2017 and has never looked back. She and her family love living, working, and playing in our gorgeous beachside community. She has three energetic young boys who give her a run for her money and views the spa-like environment of Hera Hub as a peaceful retreat! Beyond the beautiful physical space of Hera Hub Carlsbad, Tamina enjoys supporting the dynamic community of women who make up the community. From being active in Alpha Chi Omega sorority in her college years, to leading mothers’ social and support groups when her boys were toddlers, Tamina has always endeavored to surround herself with, assist, and empower women. Her role as Director is a natural fit for her and she is grateful for her daily opportunities to connect with and serve the female entrepreneurs of Hera Hub Carlsbad.
OWNER & CEO OF HERA HUB DC
Montgomery (Monti) Pace
Montgomery (Monti) Pace is the Owner & CEO of Hera Hub DC and the Founder & CEO of Two Point Oh, LLC — two ventures rooted in a shared conviction that the right systems and community can fundamentally change how people (especially women) build businesses.
As Owner & CEO of Hera Hub DC, Monti leads a female-focused community and accelerator serving women business owners across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region at every stage of their journey. Hera Hub DC strives to be the most supportive community for female business owners in the DMV — offering curated programming, peer-led accountability, and the kind of structured community that women running businesses outside traditional organizations rarely find elsewhere.
As Founder & CEO of Two Point Oh, LLC, Monti partners with small businesses to identify what systems and processes they need in order to grow and scale without simply putting in more time and money. Her Minimum Viable Systems (MVS) framework distills years of hands-on consulting experience into a practical, repeatable approach — designed for business owners who need infrastructure that actually fits how they work, not a system built for someone else’s business.
