With over 25 years of experience as a high-performing sales leader in a Fortune 20 enterprise technology company, Wanda J. Knight has cultivated a career built on strategic excellence, disciplined execution, and fearless innovation. Now, she’s expanding her impact into the digital creator and influencer space—bringing the same passion and drive that propelled her success in tech to fashion, beauty, health, and wellness.
A Career Built on Strategy and Performance
For Wanda, sales has always been about more than just numbers—it’s about strategy. Whether closing multimillion-dollar enterprise technology deals or mentoring her team to operate with autonomy and vision, she believes that success lies in clear planning, continual research, and the courage to think outside the box. “Sales is high performance, and at the end of the day, numbers don’t lie,” she says. “You can be successful—male or female—if you strategize correctly and put in the work.”
Wanda’s leadership style empowers her team to “run their business” while always remaining available for guidance, innovation, and support. This balance of autonomy and mentorship is a reflection of her belief in building strong, sustainable teams that thrive in competitive markets.
Global Perspective and Personal Passions
An avid traveler, Wanda’s passport tells a story of curiosity and courage. With more than 38 countries visited (and counting), she embraces the idea that travel pushes you out of your comfort zone while offering new perspectives on culture and life. Whether exploring the streets of Paris or attending global fashion events, she combines her love of discovery with style and substance.
Her passion for Formula 1 racing is another key part of her story. A tradition rooted in childhood memories with her father, Wanda attended her first race at 15 in Mexico City. Returning last year to the same city for another F1 race was a deeply symbolic, full-circle moment. “F1 is all about skill and strategy,” she notes—echoing the very traits that have defined her career.
A Bold Leap Into the Influencer Market
Recognizing the explosive growth and relevance of social media marketing, Wanda is carving her space as a digital creator in the industries she loves most: fashion, beauty, health, and wellness. “I always want to be in a growing market—that’s why I chose technology so many years ago,” she says. “Now, I see the same opportunity in the influencer space.”
Her brand is authentic and aspirational. As a member of both Vogue Club and Vogue Business Club, Wanda has attended events such as Vogue’s Forces of Fashion at HQ in New York, Vogue World Paris, and the Met Gala Viewing Party—seamlessly blending fashion and travel in her content and lifestyle.
Her fashion favorites include Victoria Beckham, Cynthia Rowley, Chanel, SIMKHAI, Vehla Sunglasses, and Norma Kamali. She’s also a beauty enthusiast with a keen eye for emerging brands—loving skincare by Dr. Barbara Sturm and exploring products like U Beauty, Summer Fridays, and Arbonne, which align with her commitment to clean, high-performance wellness.
Wanda’s evolving aesthetic also includes a love for statement jewelry, having recently explored designs by Maria Tash and Jenny Bird.
Leaving a Legacy of Confidence and Compassion
For Wanda J. Knight, success is not just about personal achievement—it’s about impact. She is committed to building a legacy defined by confidence, boldness, and excellence in both the corporate world and the creative space. But just as importantly, she wants to be remembered for her kindness, her support of others, and her commitment to paying it forward.
“A year ago, I wasn’t even thinking about being a creative,” she shares. “But I knew I loved fashion and travel, and I realized I could be an authority in these areas just like I’ve been in sales for nearly 30 years.”
Wanda’s story is one of reinvention, fearlessness, and strategic brilliance—proof that it’s never too late to start something new, and that real power lies in combining experience with passion.
