About Wendy
Wendy Cocke is the author of the best selling book Making Flex Work: Defining Success on Your Own Terms and founder of Engineering Leadership Solutions LLC.
Wendy grew up being told she could be anything and learned first-hand that through hard work and perseverance a small business can become the lifeblood that fuels a family. After college, she spent over 20 years leading technical teams in Fortune 500 companies before totally changing the trajectory of her career in her 40’s to open her own business and join the faculty at her alma mater. As a mother of two, who spends a lot of time working from carpool, she is officially living out her childhood dream of being a “taxi driver, just like her mother.”
She believes that with her experience and her engineering mindset, she can help people find their place at work and thrive once they get there. She works with people who want to think about work differently by speaking to employee audiences and providing consulting to corporate leaders looking to drive retention and productivity.
