LAS VEGAS, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In celebration of Women's History Month, ChargerGoGo proudly announces that Jan Jones Blackhurst, the first female Mayor of Las Vegas and a trailblazing leader in both public service and business, has joined the company as a Strategic Advisor.
Her appointment marks not only a major milestone for ChargerGoGo's continued growth, but also a powerful statement about the importance of female leadership, mentorship, and community in shaping the future of entrepreneurship.
At a time when women remain underrepresented in business ownership and leadership roles, Jan's journey stands as a reminder of what is possible. From leading one of America's most iconic cities to shaping corporate responsibility at a global enterprise, she has consistently broken barriers and opened doors for others to follow.
"Jan represents everything we believe in," said June Zhu, Founder and CEO of ChargerGoGo. "She is a pioneer, a leader, and an inspiration.

At its core, the company's mission is to create opportunities where individuals—regardless of background—can build income, independence, and confidence through entrepreneurship.
Jan's addition as Strategic Advisor comes at a pivotal moment as ChargerGoGo expands its national footprint and strengthens its ecosystem of partners. Her experience in bridging public and private sectors, combined with her commitment to education and leadership development, will help guide the company's next phase of growth.
"I've always believed that leadership is about creating opportunities for others," said Jan Jones Blackhurst. "ChargerGoGo is doing exactly that—building a platform that empowers individuals, supports local businesses, and brings communities together. I'm especially excited to support a company that is actively encouraging more women to step forward as entrepreneurs and leaders."
Beyond business growth, this collaboration reflects a shared vision: to foster a supportive ecosystem where mentorship, collaboration, and access to opportunity are not the exception—but the norm.
As ChargerGoGo continues to grow, the company remains committed to increasing female participation within its distribution partner network and leadership community—ensuring that more women not only join the journey, but thrive in it.
