Sandra Nam is the CEO and Co-Founder of Qiqo Inc., the company behind The Association Marketplace, a network of customizable online marketplaces revolutionizing how associations engage their members and industry partners. The platform empowers associations to create their own branded marketplace, much like hosting an in-person trade show, but with the added benefit of fostering year-round connections. These marketplaces serve as vibrant digital hubs where members can discover industry vendors, exchange insights, and connect with trusted partners, creating lasting value for the entire community.
During the pandemic, Sandra and her co-founder Lucas Cioffi harnessed Qiqo’s roots as an early Zoom API integrator to help associations and nonprofits design meaningful online experiences. Today, Qiqo has evolved into an innovative solution that extends beyond events, providing associations with a dynamic and scalable tool to transform how they connect and engage with their members.
With a background in landscape architecture and branding, Sandra brings a design-driven perspective to her work. She thrives at the intersection of innovation, community building, and creative problem-solving, calling her entrepreneurial journey "crazy fun." Sandra believes the future of online communities lies in leveraging technology to create opportunities for connection, collaboration, and growth—all while empowering associations to be the ultimate network for their members year-round.
