Today we’d like to introduce you to Hilyale Makor
Hi Hilyale, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I began my career over 20 years ago, managing projects and leading teams in various industries. Over the years, I’ve worked as a Project Manager, specializing in Business intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and sports entertainment, collaborating with high-profile events and organizations like the NFL & more. My journey eventually led me to embrace entrepreneurship, where I’ve been able to combine my passion for fashion, travel, wellness and lifestyle. As an independent entrepreneur and creative, I’ve had the opportunity to work with high-end brands, build a substantial following, and establish a strong personal brand focused on creativity and impactful storytelling. My path has been about leveraging both corporate experience and personal passion to carve out a niche that reflects my skills and aspirations.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. There have been significant challenges, such as navigating corporate politics, facing instances of discrimination, and dealing with the uncertainty that comes with transitioning from a secure corporate role to independent entrepreneurship. On a personal level, the passing of my mother was a profound loss that reshaped my perspective on life and work. It pushed me to focus on what truly matters and to pursue a path aligned with my values. Each of these struggles has taught me valuable lessons about resilience, adaptability, and the importance of advocating for oneself. These experiences collectively pushed me to redefine my career path and focus on building a brand that truly represents my values and aspirations.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?

We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
I believe luck has played a dual role in my journey. There have been moments of good luck, such as unexpectedly meeting influential people who became mentors or collaborators. These encounters opened doors to opportunities that I might not have accessed otherwise. Conversely, I’ve also faced moments of bad luck, like dealing with unforeseen setbacks or challenging market conditions. However, I’ve learned that how you respond to these moments—whether they’re good or bad—is what truly defines your path. I try to approach each situation with a mindset focused on growth and adaptation.
