“I had the pleasure of working with Janet Bannister during our time at Procter & Gamble, where her intelligence and skill were immediately evident. Even back then, Janet's leadership and strategic thinking set her apart. Recently, we reconnected, and it was inspiring to learn about her passion for helping entrepreneurs. As the Founder & Managing Partner of Staircase Ventures, Janet clearly cares about launching successful businesses and supporting the entrepreneurial community. I highly recommend Janet for her unwavering commitment to excellence and her ability to inspire and guide others to achieve their best. Her dedication and expertise make her an exceptional leader in the business development space.”
