Feedback
Mona Patel, Investor, Entrepreneur, Founder, Couture for Cause
“Wendy was the ideal thought partner to get Couture for Cause off the ground. She brought together the right team to strike the rare balance of “Haute” level branding, best-in-class impact, and brand-aligned ambassadors.
As I run a couple of fast-growing for-profit companies, there’s no way I could manage this process alone. Wendy is the one-of-a-kind expert, advisor, and friend, who I could rely on and laugh with.”
Megan Kiefer, Founder & President, Take Two Film Academy
“When it was time to launch Take Two’s philanthropic arm, I was lucky enough to have Wendy by my side to lead the whole process. Her deep and varied experience in social impact allowed me to breathe deeper, as she seamlessly took on the work of strategic partnerships, communications, and strategy.
Wendy was always eager to roll up her sleeves and get done whatever needed to get done, which is necessary for any early-stage company or nonprofit. She was a necessary resource, secret weapon, and dedicated thought partner.”
