St. Pete entrepreneur rekindles passion for dancing

Executive

Jamie Van Cuyk, founder and owner of St. Pete-based Growing Your Team, a consulting firm that works with small businesses on recruiting and retaining employees. She founded the firm in 2018, after previously starting a software company. A University of Tampa graduate, Van Cuyk worked for Catalina Marketing in St. Petersburg before she started her own businesses. Growing Your Team, she says, works not only with clients — usually that have five or less employees — on hiring people, but on fine-tuning what the company needs in each position so the founder can focus more on growing the business, not being in it.
