Elina Jutelyte

 

In 2016, Elina took a bold step into freelancing, leaving behind a traditional corporate role to embrace self-employment. Through this journey, she identified a pressing need for freelancers to connect, share knowledge, and support each other. This insight led to the creation of the Freelance Business Community, a grassroots initiative in Belgium that has since evolved into a global movement, bringing together over 15,000 freelancers from 60+ countries.

The Freelance Business Community has become a vibrant platform for networking, learning, and collaboration, revolutionizing the freelance industry. Its remarkable impact has been recognized in Forbes, highlighting Elina's contributions to empowering freelancers worldwide. Elina has also been recognized as one of the "Top 40 Female Leaders of the Year" by Excellence Talks, celebrating her outstanding contributions and leadership.
