		<title>Mama of the Month: Tricia Dempsey, Agile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tricia Dempsey is the founder of Agile, a technology talent firm that enables today’s technology leaders to hire and develop superior performers. Her path to entrepreneurship is proof that sometimes you don’t choose a business – a business chooses you. Six years ago, while serving as president of growing staffing agency, Tricia was diagnosed with breast cancer. Although she wanted to continue in her role, her treatment was not allowing her to work on a consistent basis. She felt this was unfair to the business, so she left it to focus on getting well. Upon her departure however, she still had clients knocking on her door, so she decided to start a small company under which she could invoice her clients "until her hair grew back." Within 90 days, she had ten consultants contracting under umbrella and by the end of the first calendar year, her business had generated half a million dollars of revenue.  She hasn't looked back since.]]></description>
