CEO Chick Chat with Christie Nightingale  

February is the month of love, so this month we have a fascinating interview with Christie Nightingale, the founder of PremierMatch, the company that creates love matches for the successful and wealthy.

For nearly twenty years, Christie Nightingale had been an “informal matchmaker,” introducing friends to one another which often lead to successful relationships and marriages. Realizing that she had an innate talent for matchmaking, she chose to leave an established twelve year career in the fashion/modeling business and pursue the matchmaking industry. After intent research of the business in her home town of New York, she discovered that there was a definite need for a more high-end, personalized service that catered to upscale, single professionals. Thus in 2000, she founded Premier Match, LLC in New York City.

Since then, Nightingale has interviewed thousands of single people throughout the east coast and around the country and has grown the company to include fully staffed offices in New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC. She has built a strong alliance network with other independent matchmakers that are located in strategic parts of the United States (Mid-West, West Coast) and abroad (UK, Western Europe) in order to expand the level of services provided and grow her database to now include well over 10,000 members. Nightingale diligently works in the day to day operations of the service and oversees a staff of six full time employees. She proudly states that through her efforts and those of her employees, they are responsible for hundreds of marriages and thousands of relationships.

Nightingale has been interviewed as a relationship expert for stories on love and dating by such news outlets as USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Good Morning America, ABC-TV’s 20/20, Bloomberg, NPR, Cosmopolitan and Esquire to name a few.

In October 2006, Nightingale was selected as one of the country’s Top 20 Inspiring, Female Entrepreneurs by American Express Open and Count Me in for Women’s Economic Independence. Nightingale was selected from thousands of successful business owner applicants and was judged on business ethics, potential growth and impeccable reputation.

Nightingale is a graduate of Seton Hall University,( ’86). She has been happily married to her husband, Morgan for the past nine years and they split their time between residences in Washington DC and New York City.
