We understand that startup life.

Those long hours, the need for staff that breathes your vision, and the dedication that’s required in order to succeed. We understand because we’ve been there. We’ve worked with startups from their early days through their multi-million dollar days. We’ve been through the growing pains and we know that the secret to success is behind the scenes. It’s the people. It’s the processes. It’s the internal function and operations. The greatest product in the world can’t successfully go or stay in market without the right systems, management, and teams in place.
​That’s where we come in. ​

Meet Our Founder

VICTORIA SPEKTOR

Victoria has worked across many industries, servicing clients, establishing processes that increase profits and productivity, and managing teams. Victoria graduated cum laude from the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC with a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising and Marketing Communication. With passion, eagerness, and a strong work ethic, Victoria began working for some of the top fashion and retail brands in the world while going to school full time. While assisting in PR at Ermenegildo Zegna and Express, Victoria learned the foundations of the fashion PR industry. Victoria also consulted at a boutique event marketing firm where she serviced clients including Saturday Night Live, The Dream Hotel, and Lady Gaga.

Upon graduating college, Victoria moved to Washington DC and joined a consumer-goods PR agency, working with clients under the Jim Beam umbrella as well as Ace Hardware. Through dedicated client relations, persistent media relations, and an eye for detail, Victoria was quickly promoted and began managing, hiring, and mentoring staff. When moving back to Manhattan, Victoria briefly joined a beauty PR agency where she represented brands distributed at Sephora. Here, Victoria focused on providing superb account assistance through detailed reporting, oversight of the internship program, and efficient media support.

In 2013, Victoria joined Baked by Melissa, a startup specializing in bite-size cupcakes that became an NYC-staple. In her time with the company, Victoria touched many aspects of the business as she led and grew departments through the organization. Over the course of five years, Victoria not only served as the lead for the events, PR, marketing, and B2B sales departments but also grew them through effective operational organization. She established processes, enforced protocols, managed internal and external staff, increased overall efficiency, bettered internal communication and relations, and grew profits. Having worked alongside Baked by Melissa’s executive team, Victoria has a unique understanding of the ins and outs of growing a startup into a multi-million dollar national brand from the inside out.

​Combining her experience over the past decade, Victoria started Spek Consulting Group in 2018 with the desire and know-how to help new and small businesses succeed by establishing processes, organizing their operations, building out productive, happy teams, and supporting their needs.
