Rapid-Fire Questions with Michelle Teno-Wachter

November 30, 2020in Blog 0 Comments

Michelle Teno-Wachter has been with WEtech Alliance since 2010 as the Administrator for Member Services. Michelle is the “concierge” for WEtech—the greeter, caller and go-to-person for assisting with all WEtech inquiries. She’s the liaison for Windsor Essex Capital Angel Network (WECAN), one of WEtech Alliance’s partners, and she manages the content updates for our monthly newsletter.

Michelle brings a wealth of administrative experience and organizational skills from working at the Windsor Star for 32 years. In addition, Michelle opened her own evening and party attire consignment store, Formally Yours, which she continues to operate to this day.

“Embracing technology isn’t always easy for me, but I’m grateful for the new experiences and I have learned over the years at WEtech,” Michelle states. “I am proud to be a part of a team that motivates, accelerates and overachieves in ventures that are changing the Windsor-Essex landscape.”

If you’d like to learn more about Michelle, read on…

Michael Seguin was born with a pen in his hands and too many words floating around his skull. Since then, he’s worked tirelessly to get them out. Unfortunately, more keep taking their place. After university, he began dabbling in marketing and journalism. At the age of 26, he became the first in-house writer at Windsor Life Magazine, an esteemed local publication. As the newest member of the WEtech Alliance team, Michael is dedicated to lending a voice to the tech sector around Windsor and Chatham-Kent
