Wendy Dole

Wendy Dole has been working in the technology industry since 1993, for a total of 33 years. She earned her degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, including a double major in management computer systems and organizational communication, followed by a master's degree in computer science. She serves on the board of directors for Women in Technology for Wisconsin, where she has participated for approximately four years, and on the board of directors for the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation for one year, where she co-chairs a major food and wine fundraising event. In her approach to leadership, she follows a servant leadership model, prioritizing the success and professional development of her team members so they can make independent decisions and require less oversight. She has noted that one of the biggest challenges in her field is the rapid evolution of AI tools, which requires keeping teams current without causing change fatigue while still delivering customer value. A key piece of career advice she values is determining what one can control or affect and letting go of the rest.
