Fenella doesn’t coach Vistage Chairs from theory alone.
As an entrepreneur, three-time exited CEO, and Vistage Chair, she brings firsthand experience building businesses, leading executives, developing peer groups, and navigating the challenges that come with practice growth.
Her approach combines strategic thinking with practical execution—helping Chairs identify what’s holding their practice back, determine what deserves attention now, and build systems for sustainable growth.
The goal isn’t simply to add more members. It’s to build a stronger, more sustainable Chair practice.
