The women who built this.

Women who share the same belief...that the right room can change everything. Here's who's behind GNO.

the whole team.
Nicole Guzzardi

Nicole Guzzardi.

Founder

Known to many as the Boss Babe, Nicole co-owns AG Construction Company with her fiancé Billy Alvaro, a real estate investor, leading developments across New Jersey, New York, and beyond. A mother of three and a grandmother, she keeps family at the center of it all. She founded GNO to give women in business a place to connect, collaborate, and lift each other up, and she pours that same heart into the S.M.A.R.T. Foundation, the 501(c)(3) she created to support single mothers and their children.

Amanda Gyetvay

Co-Founder

Amanda owns Amanda Kristy Media and My Room Studios, and she is a photographer devoted to helping people tell their story through her lens. A dog mom to Roman and Chief, she has spent the last decade supporting rescues across the country and is launching her own nonprofit, Pawtecting Paws. She joined forces with Nicole after the very first GNO event, and it has grown into a partnership built on bringing women together for real relationships and lasting memories.

She has a gift for bringing calm and clarity to clients, and she helps lead GNO in North Jersey to empower and connect women small business owners.

She keeps the community informed and supports our gatherings both behind the scenes and on-site, making sure every GNO runs smoothly.

She is also pursuing her Bachelor's in Communications at Monmouth University, with a focus on Public Relations and Journalism.

Bookkeeper

Shiela keeps our books in check, handling accounts receivable and payable, managing member payments, and making sure our monthly numbers always balance. You may hear from her from time to time about a payment or your membership. She is quick, responsive, and always on top of her tasks.
