Her Forward, the women-focused media platform founded by Michael Peres, has launched Verified Profiles, a feature aimed at highlighting established professionals and providing centralized, curated visibility for their achievements, announcements, and affiliations. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to improve how leaders present their narratives in an increasingly fragmented media environment. According to Her Forward, the Verified Profiles will support individuals whose contributions and leadership have already been recognized within their fields.
The Verified Profile includes multiple layers of detail. Biographical summaries, academic and professional backgrounds, recent press mentions, and personal branding elements such as contact options and media assets are compiled into a single, structured profile. Rather than relying solely on external coverage, individuals with Verified status are given a platform where their accomplishments and current projects are formally consolidated.
Features Include Leadership Council Access and Profile Customization
Alongside the public listing, approved individuals will gain access to Her Forward’s Leadership Council. This invite-only network is designed to encourage collaboration among top-tier professionals across industries. While not all Leadership Council members will necessarily have editorial content published about them, each will receive tools to manage how they are represented on the site, including updating bios, adding new accomplishments, and managing contact availability.
Verified individuals can include booking links, press kits, and statements to help media outlets, collaborators, and potential clients access relevant details without needing to rely on third-party sources.
Early Profiles Now Live
Several early profiles have already been published, including that of Michael Peres. These entries offer insight into the kinds of professionals Her Forward is seeking to highlight—individuals with tangible experience, verified credentials, and a documented history of leadership. Her Forward also indicates that the feature is designed to serve professionals across industries, not just women, although its primary editorial content remains focused on female leadership and entrepreneurship.
Background and Platform Goals
Michael Peres, also known as Mikey Peres, has built a reputation as an entrepreneur and media operator. A software engineer by training, Peres operates multiple ventures across the tech, media, and publishing sectors. These include Hexa Tiger, a digital solutions agency, Hexa Cloud Services, a web hosting agency, LongevityOne, a repository for research on advanced human aging, and JPN Miami, a directory for Jewish events in South Florida.
With Her Forward, Peres seeks to spotlight underrepresented voices in leadership, particularly women navigating entrepreneurial careers. The launch of Verified Profiles aligns with that goal by offering infrastructure to help those voices gain credibility, not just visibility.
What Comes Next for the Platform
Her Forward plans to roll out more Verified Profiles in the coming months, with a review process that remains invite-only at present. In the meantime, the company aims to use this initiative to deepen its editorial mission and continue supporting content that reflects meaningful leadership across industries.
The platform’s broader offerings, which include interviews, features, and educational content for professionals, remain active alongside the new profile system. Her Forward intends for the Verified Profiles to complement its existing content, offering a more permanent, structured way to support individuals it has featured—and those it has yet to discover.
Built With Scale My Publication Technology
This feature was developed on the Scale My Publication platform. Scale My Publication provides an integrated environment for managing editorial workflows, scheduling, and automated content distribution. Its modular tools include editorial calendar management, publication pipelines, and performance analytics dashboards. The platform supports blogs, online magazines, and news outlets by centralizing content production and tracking.
