About

Network Under 40: Nashville exists at the intersection of friendship and business. We understand that we live in a connection economy and the foundation to success in career and personal life hinges on genuine relationships with real people.
We are about mixing business and pleasure, throwing out the conventional wisdom that says you have to change who you are to ‘be professional’. Instead, we encourage you to be real, to have fun, and to cultivate authentic and meaningful relationships around social activities.
It’s not just about meeting people, it’s about knowing people. Fortunately, there are a lot of cool people for you to get to know at our events, ranging from tables for ten to several hundred person occasions.
Don’t believe us? Check out what Inc. Magazine has to say about how we build local communities and turn transactional, tedious networking events into fun, meaningful experiences!
Come as you are. Build rapport. Leave with a foundation for genuine relationships.

Carlie Gianotti Sessum
I moved to Nashville in 2014 and started my journey coaching travel volleyball & as a licensed insurance agent. Eventually I found a true passion in the networking business development world. I definitely enjoy connecting with other like minded business professionals but more importantly introducing them to others that allow them to achieve their professional goals.
Besides Network Under 40 I am a full time Talent Scout & Realtor with Living TN eXp , Business Development for TRG Roofing, & CEO of Above & Beyond Marketing and Events.
In the summer with some downtime you can find me hanging with my NEW husband, usually at the lake or golf course.
