ALANNA IMBACH BIO
A fierce champion of innovation, entrepreneurship, and meaningful social impact, Alanna Imbach is a weaver of people, and a builder of authentic, purpose-driven communities. Her vision is simple: drive innovation through authentic human connection.
As a boomerang Kitsapian with a storied background in international development, Alanna is most known locally for her work as Founder and CEO of Vibe Coworks—a shared workspace and coworking community that provides world-class workspace, community and programming for startups, scaleups, corporations, nonprofits and public entities in and beyond the Kitsap Peninsula. Since first opening in 2017, Vibe Coworks has become a widely recognized center of gravity for authentic community, connection, and happier, healthier ways of working in and beyond the Kitsap Peninsula. Vibe Coworks is proudly woman- and immigrant-owned, with a diverse membership base and professional network that spans the county. In addition to providing access by the hour and by the day, Vibe counts with over 200 members, serving hundreds of area businesses and organizations as the destination of choice for meetings and events.
Most recently, Alanna founded Matchstick Lab, a new initiative to promote and support successful startup and business development in Kitsap that celebrates our heritage, resources, and talents. Alanna has served on the Board of the Kitsap Economic Development Alliance, where she formed part of the inaugural Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force, and led the work of the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Working Group. She is also a graduate of Leadership Kitsap ('17), has been named a 40 Under 40 Honoree (2021) by the South Sound Business Journal, and 20 Under 40 Honoree (2019) by Leadership Kitsap. Vibe Coworks was named Business of the Year by the Greater Kitsap Chamber in 2022, and is a proud member off the League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces (LExC), which provides members with free, reciprocal access to a network of high-end, boutique coworking spaces globally.
