Meet Geneèn Wright
Founder | Career Architect
Nice to meet you, I’m Geneèn, the founder of Mavens 101, and a firm believer that clarity, strategy, and self-awareness are the real drivers of lasting career growth.
Before leading global talent strategies, I started my career in the vibrant chaos of food, media, and brand storytelling. From producing experiential events with top chefs, to managing rebranding campaigns at world-renowned creative agencies, I’ve always been obsessed with the intersection of people, performance, and purpose.
However, along the way, I noticed that the most powerful shifts didn’t come from organizational charts or performance models.
They came from people:
The executive struggling to lead with confidence.
The mid-level manager ready to evolve or exit.
The ambitious employee stuck between impact and burnout.
The returning VP juggling purpose, projects, and parenting.
These were the moments that mattered, and these are the people I want to serve.
