Monica Eaton-Cardone is the cofounder, owner and COO of Chargebacks911, a Tampa Bay-based cybersecurity company that safeguards 2.4 billion digital transactions per year & has 400+ employees worldwide. Monica launched Chargebacks911 in 2011, and has developed a unique, award-winning work culture that was recognized in 2017 at one of “Tampa Bay’s Top Workplaces.”
She developed a charity called "Paid for Grades." This is how she described it:
"If a student improves his or her literacy by at least one letter-grade, satisfies the attendance requirements and completes an interactive series of self-help workshops, the student will receive a check for $500. The money comes with no strings attached — and we’ll even pay for the student to receive after-hours tutoring from a teacher. We don’t reward effort; we reward performance."
