Over the past five years, Julia Westfall has been an advocate for women and minority business owners in the D.C. Metro area through her work as Founder and CEO of Hera Hub DC.

Julia’s passion for supporting women and minority business owners comes from her 20+ years working with small businesses, helping them manage their financial and HR needs. She is focused on building a vibrant community and network of women in business that fosters collaboration and supports the launch and growth of their businesses.

In February 2018, Julia joined BEACON as a board member. BEACON is a public-private partnership between the DC Mayor’s Office, Google and The Georgetown Law. BEACON’s goal is to make Washington, DC a model city to demonstrate how investors, companies, mentors and government can work together to ensure women entrepreneurs have an equal opportunity to succeed.

Julia is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and has also served as the Economic Strengthening Chair for Tenleytown Main Street.
