Broadening the On-ramp for Women-run Companies

Wendy Lea, CEO of Cintrifuse, A Manifester, Bridge Builder, and Wildly Introspective Leader

Wendy Lea has had a lifetime of high-profile successes in building successful businesses. Leaving Get Satisfaction after years as CEO, Wendy was lured to Cincinnati to develop and grow an enduring business ecosystem that brings together startups, bigcos, government nonprofits, neighborhoods and even the clergy. The results already have been amazing.

But Wendy is not your garden-variety winner. What you’ll hear in this Real Leaders podcast is deep and candid reflection on what has motivated Wendy in her career and what gaps she’s looking to fill across her life.

MergeLane is honored to have Wendy Lea as a mentor in our accelerator program.
