Mia Wenjen

Co-founder at Aquent

Possessed of the same entrepreneurial spirit that has driven Aquent from the outset, Mia launched the West Coast operations and grew the Los Angeles market into one of the company’s largest. Mia went on to oversee the Boston market, manage an internal startup aimed at the temporary placement of accountants, and serve as publisher of 1099 Magazine, the offline version of Aquent’s cheeky webzine for independent professionals, 1099.com. She blogs on parenting, children’s books, and education at PragmaticMom.com and is the co-creator of Multicultural Children’s Book Day, a nonprofit celebrating diversity in children’s books.

Mia graduated from Harvard College cum laude in history and science in 1987 and earned an MBA from UCLA’s Anderson Graduate School of Management in 1993.
