Beatrice “Trixie” Wadson is a senior communications and strategic partnerships advisor with more than 30 years of experience helping organizations clarify their story, raise their profile and develop relationships that advance their goals.
Through Contessa Communications Consulting, I work with business leaders, investors, nonprofits, sporting organizations and coastal enterprises to identify opportunities, shape compelling propositions and connect them with the right audiences, partners and platforms.
My experience spans strategic and executive communications, profile building, stakeholder engagement, partnership strategy, philanthropy and international business networks, with particular depth in sport, sailing and the marine economy.
A dual Canadian–American citizen based in Rhode Island, I bring a valuable cross-border perspective to work involving energy, ocean health, aquaculture and regional economic development.
