Jana Hennemann

Jana has spent more than 20 years in business and has been a professional networker for most of them, in Springfield and internationally. From 2016 to 2020 she founded and led WeDames Organization, a community for women in Springfield.

During the pandemic she noticed something in a room of about 50 professionals: only a few of them could actually refer business to each other on a regular basis. So in 2020 she founded We&Co, a Springfield referral network built around small Huddles of 8 to 12 partners whose work fits together. Huddles cover weddings, B2B, B2C, financial, 55+, health and wellness, real estate, and construction. Ambassadors coach each group, and We&Co runs its own platform that tracks attendance and referrals for every Huddle.

“We are in the business of bringing business to local businesses.”

A referral network only works if people keep showing up and keep trusting each other. Jana has spent years making that happen, one Huddle at a time. She knows what people running local businesses worry about, how they like to be kept in the loop, and what it takes for them to recommend you to a friend.

That is the job at LuminaForge too. Our team does the review and the build. Jana makes sure you always know where things stand, and that working with us is something you would happily tell another business about.
