Tasia Malakasis calls herself a “serial entrepreneur.”

An Alabama native, she is into her first weeks as the new CEO at The Company Lab - or CO.LAB - the Chattanooga nonprofit for local startups.

Tasia’s portfolio ranges from high-tech to running her own goat cheese company.

As she comes on board at CO.LAB, Startup Week Chattanooga has been pushed back to next spring - but certain collaborations and events that are usually part of the week will still take place this fall.
