Cohort Three
Vanessa Rundell
Founder and Owner of Preserved Foods Boutique
The program provides a really great network! Between being able to troubleshoot with my peers or making connections with leaders in industries such as logistics, finance & sustainable packaging, I felt supported in making thoughtful steps to help grow my business. The lesson topics were well presented, easy to follow but thoughtful enough that I will be able to look back at them in a few years and level up my business again. I am so proud to be a part of this network and am excited to see it grow too!
