Brenda Stoltz, Founder of Ariad Partners
FOUNDER

Brenda Stoltz

I've always wanted to guide my clients to a long-term strategy with strong, repeatable processes rather than just apply a band-aid. My team and I make that our goal with every engagement.

Brenda launched Ariad Partners in 2011 after 20 years of marketing, sales management, and product management experience working for start-ups and Fortune 500 companies.

The Ariad Partners’ Name

Ariad Partners is a play on the name of Princess Ariadne of Greek mythology, who gave Theseus the tools he needed to find his way through the Minotaur’s Labyrinth. Likewise, Ariad Partners was founded to provide the team and tools you’ll need to lead your business through the maze of today’s business environment.
