Colnatec was also the first Phoenix-based winner of the Arizona Innovation Challenge Grant, winning for its innovative process control sensor used in thin film solar cell manufacturing. Today, Wendy continues to coach entrepreneurs at the Arizona Commerce Authority through its Venture Ready program.

In between all of her many business and leadership successes, she remains active in technology communities, including her time as a member of the Board of Directors for medical device startup, VieConnect US, coaching a SaaS-based fintech startup as a Flinn Foundation Bioscience Entrepreneurship Program mentor, evaluating entrepreneurial research projects as a Technical Grant Reviewer for the US National Science Foundation SBIR Program, and advising Arizona economic development agencies as an Adjunct Member of the District Export Council.

Her efforts at driving international trade policy, energy equity across nations, and entrepreneurial job creation brought her to the White House four times, earning a White House “Champion of Change” award in 2011.  Her extensive experience in international entrepreneurship also earned her selection by the US Department of State as one of 100 entrepreneurs in the USA to attend the Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University, where she advised Facebook and IDEO on global energy equity initiatives.
