Christina Wedderburn
Christina Wedderburn is a seasoned finance professional and certified paralegal with a rich and varied career that spans education, entrepreneurship, and corporate leadership. She began her professional journey following her calling to become a special education teacher, earning her undergraduate degree in Special Education from Vanguard University in 2010. During her teaching career, she made a lasting impact on the children she worked with, an achievement she cites as one of her proudest moments. Inspired by her mother’s entrepreneurial spirit in San Francisco, Christina also founded and ran her own paralegal business, further honing her leadership and management skills.
Currently serving as Controller at Triple Whale, Christina has built a reputation for leading with clear communication, compassion, and a collaborative “it’s a we thing, not a me thing” mentality. Fluent in Italian and Sign Language, she brings a unique blend of empathy and precision to her work, ensuring her team feels supported while maintaining high standards. Her corporate experience includes senior roles at The Siegfried Group and EY, where she managed teams and complex financial operations, particularly in audit and technology-focused engagements.
Outside of her professional life, Christina is deeply committed to community outreach and charitable causes. She supports Meals on Wheels and initiatives for special education, and has completed the grueling 60-mile, three-day walk for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. She is also dedicated to setting a strong example for her daughter, balancing her career, philanthropic work, and personal passions with the same care and dedication that she brings to her professional life.
