About Lena DeLaet

Lena DeLaet is Wisconsin native and has lived in the Milwaukee area since 2005. As a Marquette graduate, Lena considers herself a champion of Milwaukee, and has consistently been employed with Milwaukee-based institutions such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, WISN Channel 12, and most recently with Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. (Summerfest). At Summerfest, she is the Director of Sales, working with many of the corporate sponsors that support the festival. She is also the Director of Summerfest Tech, which convenes all sectors of the tech community around relevant speakers and programming, while also integrating the music festival as part of the agenda. She finds herself also committing to her community through a variety of board and committee placements with the Wisconsin Tech Association, Meta House, Milwaukee Artist Resource Network, Marquette Mentors, and WI Tech Month. Through her professional and volunteer roles, she provides a variety of background and experience, including marketing, sales, networking, and connections. Personally, she enjoys everything about Milwaukee – the food and nightlife atmosphere, the lakefront, concerts and live music, and spending time with her dog, Bella.
