Jeanne Goussev

Jeanne was the skipper of the 2018 winning Race to Alaska team, Sail Like A Girl. The team is a group of 8 women, three with little to no sailing experience, who set out on a journey of adventure and achieved more when they reached Ketchikan as the first monohull to win the race, ever. Jeanne began sailing in 1999 in Boston where she met her husband, Evgeniy, who has circumnavigated the globe on sailboats. They have two children and live on Bainbridge Island. They now proudly own and race their custom Lyman Morse built boat, Gray Wolf in and around Puget Sound.

Jeanne is the Managing Director of Fiduciary Services for Laird Norton Wealth Management, where she administers trusts and estates and carries out the wishes of her clients for the people and non-profits that they love. Laird Norton Wealth Management has the largest privately held trust company in Washington state and a 50+ year history helping families with their complete financial needs. Jeanne has spent volunteer time working to increase planned giving in the Puget Sound area, and is engaged with a number of non-profits to aid them in this goal.
